... radiation protection devices like lead gloves, apron and shield or to restrict the amount of the x ray beam to the affected area. The greatest challenge for all radiographers would be to generate images accurately in one single process. This may be difficult at times, especially with infant or elderly patients when they have to ensure the right positioning of the patient's body as well as the correct direction and height of the radiographic equipment. With the help of device like a tape measure, they will compute the thickness of the area to be radiograph and adjust the machine accordingly to generate radiographs of the appropriate density, detail and contrast. Additional training is necessary for radiographers who need to perform complex imaging examinations such as the mammography, ultrasound, fluoroscopies, computer tomography (CT), whereby the radiographer operates the computerized tomography scanners to produce cross sectional views of patients. Other complex test includes ...
