From: Tony Buxton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Garry,
Interested in your comment. Does this mean the radiologist prefers that a lat decubitus film is taken instead, or just the supine. I agree we do too many unnecessary erect AXRs but this is often covered under the banner of a "complete examination". (I'll leave the issue of the erect CXR aside!). I would like to know his reasons, a reference would also be appreciated. Regards, Tony B *************************************************** Anthony J.

Is it then possible to eliminate this exam and thus the risk (we haven't been able to eliminate due to referral base and other radiologists non acceptance) +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= This message is being broadcast by AIRNEWS, the Australian Institute of Radiography list Server Send messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For assistance send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Commands should be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Opinions expressed on this list are not necessarily those of the moderator, his assistants or those of the A.I.R.
