The International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP) divides the effects of ionizing radiation on the human body into two, namely stochastic effects and deterministic effects. After knowing that X-ray radiation is dangerous for the human body, this can create a different perception for everyone, especially nurses. Nurses who do not have special knowledge about the dangers of X-ray radiat…
The articulatio genu is a complex hinge joint and is formed by the distal part of the femur bone, condyle, epicondyle, proximal part of the tibia bone. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that appears to be related to the aging process, obesity or joint trauma. The projection used in the Articulatio Genu examination with suspected Osteoarthritis at the North Sumatra Hospital Medan In…
Radiology is one of the supporting installations in a hospital that is useful for diagnosing a disease. This requires inspection techniques and image quality, with the aim of knowing the comparison of radiographic image quality on Thorax examination of the PA projection with FFD variations of 120 cm, 160 cm, 180 cm at Sundari General Hospital, using the general radiographic modality of the Tosh…
Background: The humerus is the longest bone of the upper limb, showing a shaft and two ends (Pearce, 2009). We can generally understand that this bone is located between the shoulder and elbow. A fracture is a break in the continuity of the bone and this condition can be caused by direct or indirect trauma, underlying disease or repeated pressure on the bone. A fracture is a break in the contin…

The dark room is an important room in a Radiology Installation which is useful as a place for film processing, storage of unexposed film, storage and maintenance of cassettes and screens, as a place for the initial and final processes of making radiographs. This process plays an important role because it affects the quality of the resulting radiograph. Darkroom equipment m…
Background: Exposition factors are factors that determine and influence the quality and quantity of x-ray radiation in making radiographic images. In a computed radiography system, images can be optimized before printing, thereby minimizing repetitions caused by inaccuracies. Research Purposes: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of exposure factors on Thorax examination and …

The calcaneus is the largest and strongest bone in the foot, located under the talus. Forms the heel and joints with the talus superiorly and the cuboid anteriorly. Calcaneus spur is the appearance of bone spurs in the heel area or calcaneus bone which can cause pain, problems when walking, limited movement, and impaired functional activities before ever experiencing pain in the heel. Caused by…
