Sammanfattning

R and L annotations on X-rays are important! Is it done? A quality assurance project from an X-ray department in Gentofte Hospital, Copenhagen, focuses on right and left annotations on conventional, digital X-rays. Included images were those of greater joints and extremities pre and post surgery, and controls after minor emergency injuries. The sum of included images was 2499, and the error level was 1.8%. Annotations are the radiographer's obligation and can be forgotten. Factors like stress, interruptions, different equipment or amnesic patients play a role. No available, comparable studies have been found.
