Radiology

Keys to having a successful day in radiology. The best time to learn about how to take a film is during patient screening on Wednesdays. When taking a panorex you have to make sure the patient neck it straight, they are close to the machine, make sure you align the lights so that the patient face is even, all jewelry must be taken off, and least but not last make sure the patient tongue is pushed up to the palate to prevent air space. If you follow these steps you will most likely have a successful radiograph. Taking bite wings, periapicals radiographs just take a lot of practice, and you have to make sure you use the correct angles.
