By Professor Louise Rainford, Associate Dean of Radiography, UCD Dublin. How are radiographers treated when they admit to making a mistake? Unintended or unanticipated injury or harm was “prevented either by timely intervention or chance,” but risk was present if not prevented. Are the processes for reporting well known?

A fundamental goal of radiographers is to complete an imaging exam that provides sufficient information for an accurate clinical diagnosis–and at the lowest possible dose. We also have a Detector Verification alert that signals radiographers when they choose the wrong detector–which would result in the need to repeat the exam.

Diagnosis While radiographs are typically sufficient to make the diagnosis, WBCT scans may be useful to plan surgical treatment. Accurately assess sesamoid position as plain radiographs cannot determine whether the sesamoids have been reduced within their grooves 5. . • Assess congruency and degenerative changes at the 1st MTP joint.

Improved image processing looks that provide an even higher level of image quality with consistent presentation. Physicians have better diagnostic confidence when they can view radiographs in the manner most suitable to their preferences. Your radiographers need to work as efficiently as possible in order to keep pace.

Patients with ectopia lentis typically present with visual acuity problems but can also present with eye pain if secondary to trauma [2]. Radiography has no role in orbital injuries due to its lower sensitivity for soft tissues [4]. Radiographics. Treatment of ectopia lentis often is nonsurgical. 2006;10(4):345-350.
