Question

as a student radiographer, you have been assigned to work with a classmate as part of a group project. your assignment is to produce an x-ray image of a nonroutine projection of the skull and to record the exposure conditions. to do this, you would
perform this on your classmate in an available radiographic room.
retrieve an image in the pacs system that simulates the exercise with suggested techniques.
use a skull phantom in a laboratory setting and record the actual exposure factors.
select a patient when he or she visits the clinical setting for a similar study.

Explanation:

For a student radiographer's group project on nonroutine skull X - ray, using a skull phantom in a lab (option 3) is ethical and practical. Using a classmate (unethical, no consent), PACS simulation (not actual exposure), or selecting a patient (unethical for practice) are wrong. So the correct option is using a skull phantom.

Answer:

C. use a skull phantom in a laboratory setting and record the actual exposure factors.
