Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A repeat image will result in the patient receiving an additional radiation dose. Depending on the location of the repeat image, the skin and possibly the gonads (if they are in the imaged area) can receive a double radiation dose. Therefore, it is important to minimize the need for repeat images through proper technique and communication with the patient.
