1) you can see if the chin rest is at a good height. You can move it up or down before they put their chin on.
2) it helps them to balance if you need to move them forward. You can sometimes move the feet forward if they are standing too far back, to straighten the spine and drop shoulders.
3) it gives them a responsibility during the exam. Empowering patients during exams to be involved is extending the patient-centred approach and also acts to strengthen implied consent to continue with the procedure.
4) it helps them to keep still. The final image will be clear and diagnostic. ]]> 2018-03-18 10:01:52 UTC https://padlet.com/skatieb/ih5hfbegoos1/wish/243163045 skatieb https://padlet.com/skatieb/ih5hfbegoos1/wish/269845981 What is the most useful tip for making sure you get a good image?]]> 2018-07-10 13:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/skatieb/ih5hfbegoos1/wish/269845981 skatieb https://padlet.com/skatieb/ih5hfbegoos1/wish/270617440 Can ANYONE help with explaining this for the assessment?]]> 2018-07-19 10:52:53 UTC https://padlet.com/skatieb/ih5hfbegoos1/wish/270617440 skatieb https://padlet.com/skatieb/ih5hfbegoos1/wish/270631078 What can you identify on this image?
