    Area of Science:

    • Radiologic Technology
    • Medical Imaging Physics

    Background:

    • Random technique selection in diagnostic radiography leads to suboptimal outcomes.
    • Current methods for selecting radiographic techniques are often inconsistent, increasing patient radiation exposure and resource waste.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a systematic and easily implemented alternative to random technique selection in diagnostic radiography.
    • To reduce patient radiation dose, minimize radiographic film waste, and decrease examination retake times.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a user-friendly system for radiographic technique formulation.
    • Implementation and evaluation of the system in a clinical diagnostic radiography setting.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed system requires minimal time for completion (minutes).
