Each student will submit radiographic images

demonstrating the chest, abdomen, upper extremity and bony thorax. Each image will be reviewed for diagnostic quality including technical factors, positioning, centering, tube angle and collimation

After the RADPACS campus orientation is complete, students may review images on the RADPACS from home or another computer Clinical Simulation and annotate images and perform clinical reasoning assignments. As discussed during the RADPACS orientation, it is recommended that these forms and images be reviewed prior to the Clinical Simulation experience. In this way, Clinical Simulation discussion demonstrates greater participation, more detail, and more critical thinking because students have had an opportunity to view the images and engage in thoughtful problem solving prior to class. Instructors will lead the discussion. Students should not fear answering incorrectly. During the discussion, students may add to, delete, or change answers as their knowledge grows, and the errors will not negatively affect their grade.

Clinical Reasoning and Annotation Worksheets completed. _____

Students may utilize Shaderware and 3D Software as a means to improve knowledge and skills. The user manual for Shaderware may be accessed at http://shaderware.com/distrib/ProjectionVR/ProjectionVR%20v5.0%20User%20Guide.pdf

During your scheduled Clinical Simulation time, demonstrate radiation protection while practicing radiographic positions. Also, demonstrate the appropriate communication skills and behavior while practicing radiographic positions. Explain the special consideration for various patients due to age or illness. Demonstrate several forms of immobilization and proper transfer techniques using peer positioning.

During your assigned Clinical Simulation time, demonstrate proper assessment of vital signs. Using the Vital Signs Documentation form contained within this module to record the vital signs of two peers. Submit a copy of this form in for grading.

Vitals Worksheet completed. _____

All Several of the objectives and learning experiences involve your completion of RADT 1303. Aspects of Radiographic Exposure will be covered each Clinical Simulation experience in conjunction with your classroom experiences.

ROOM ORIENTATION & CHEST IMAGING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Detent the machine a) Select the transverse button on the tube head and move it toward you. As you push the tube head toward the base, you will feel the tube head slide into a rut or “clunk” into place. Remove your finger from the transverse button and you should be locked into place.

2. Align the central ray of the tube head (red light) to the center of the bucky. The red light is activated when you depress the light button on the tube head.

a) Depress the longitudinal button on the tube head and you can move the entire head either up or down the table until the red light is adjusted to the center of the film and bucky.

3. Place the film in the bucky (black side should be up)

a) Pull open the lock, place the film into the bucky, and close the lock. Be sure that the cassette is secure and will not move when you slide the bucky back into the table.

Page 13: PROCESSOR ORIENTATION FOR WSU LAB 2020...Clinical Simulation 3: Vitals and Final Practicum Mondays, September 21, October 26, November 23 Carley Guymon Elizabeth Tomlinson Jordon Helmer

12

4. Check to ensure that the tube head is 40” to the Bucky.

a) The measuring stick behind the tube head has a pointer that demonstrates inches from the table and from the bucky. Also, the blue light on the tube head will light up when the tube head is 40” from the Bucky.

b) Most imaging is done at 40” to the Bucky, however; in the case of taking Chest images, you will want to set the height as close to 72” as possible. Raise the tube head as high as it will allow (the blue light indicating 40” will turn off) and lower the table. Some rooms will not expose when the table is lowered, if you have difficulty getting your image to expose, this may be the issue.

5.Collimate the light field to a 14 x 17 imaging plate. a) Be careful to take into account that a 14 x 17 will appear differently at 40” than at 72”

Page 14: PROCESSOR ORIENTATION FOR WSU LAB 2020...Clinical Simulation 3: Vitals and Final Practicum Mondays, September 21, October 26, November 23 Carley Guymon Elizabeth Tomlinson Jordon Helmer

13

6. Adjust your light field so that it is 1.5 to 2 inches above the phantom’s shoulder. Your CR should be at T7. Place the appropriate marker on the anatomical left corner of the film. 7. You are now ready to expose the film. Don’t forget to close the door to the x-ray room USING THE CONSOLE 8. On the console, you will select Chest PA (even though we will be taking it AP) on the right hand of your screen.

9.For your first image, with the film in the Bucky, we will photo-time the image. In order to do this, you will need to select AEC. Select the two top photo cell boxes, and indicate that the cassette is placed inside the table. You will want your kVp to be set between 90-110 kVp. Once set, take the exposure button to the left of the screen, depress it half way to get the rotor turning. The wheel on the top of the screen will turn yellow. Then, depress it all the way and you will hear an audible “beep” and the wheel will turn green. Retrieve your film and go to processing.

Page 15: PROCESSOR ORIENTATION FOR WSU LAB 2020...Clinical Simulation 3: Vitals and Final Practicum Mondays, September 21, October 26, November 23 Carley Guymon Elizabeth Tomlinson Jordon Helmer

14

10. For your second film, we will take the image table top. As a team, carefully lift the phantom onto the film directly. Adjust the light field. You may use the free-floating table and foot directors.

Once positioned correctly, set a manual technique. In this case, you will choose manual with none (meaning without use of the bucky). Then, you will need to set your technique to approximately 85 kVp and 2.6 mAs. Take note of the difference between taking an image with use of a Bucky versus without the Bucky. Expose the film and take the resulting image to the processor.

PROCESSING A FILM Your Clinical Simulation instructor will help you to process your first film. 1. Locate the appropriate patient name (or Clinical Simulation group) from the worklist. 2. Select the appropriate body part. 3. ID the film with the patient information. 4. Place the film in the processor. 5. Complete post processing procedures and critique.

a) Do you have a marker? b) Was the film too light or too dark? How do you know? c) Was the image positioned correctly? d) How can you change the image using the viewer software?

repeats). Radiographs will be reviewed by the Clinical Simulation faculty, and each exam will be graded according to the overall image quality and technical factors. Each practicum exam is worth a total of 40 pts. Repeat of an examination does NOT indicate failure. Students should seek to demonstrate proficiency when repeats occur by exhibiting knowledge of image evaluation criteria in correlation to successful corrective action. Fall Semester, the final practicum is worth a total of 160 pts. Images required for the first semester final practicum include:

1. KUB 2. Oblique Hand 3. Unilateral Ribs (Area of pain will be designated by your Clinical Simulation
