BACKGROUND: X-Rays are the form of electromagnetic radiations having energy greater than 100eV. There are some common factors that can affect the quality of X-rays and as a result X-Rays examination is repeated because of some factors i.e. underexposure, overexposure, double exposure, poor exposure positioning, motion of patient during exposure, machine dysfunction, nice, contrast details and spatial resolution, collimation, rotation, incomplete patient details or inaccurate patient details, inadequate penetration of X-Rays, improper storage of films and scattered radiations.
OBJECTIVES: to review the common factors that affect diagnostic quality of radiographs and radiation dose to patient.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: this study is approved by research and ethical committee of Northwest institute of health sciences (NWIHS) Peshawar. The data is collected by meta- analysis of various published articles. All those point which are linked to our studies or have some importance to our studies have been gathered from these published articles.
The reviewed articles were obtained from the following web search engines.
National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
CONCLUSION: This review indentified that issues related with patient, Technologist, and machines comprises the quality of radiographs.
