mAs: 5.00
kVp: 70
EI : 5738
DI: 12.8
Changes to be made: Entire talus and calcaneus visualized. Lateral malleolus superimposed over posterior half of the tibia. Overexposed. Could have brought collimation in more.
mAs: 4.00
kVp: 65
EI : 306
DI: 0.0
Changes to be made Calcaneus and talus visualized. Optimal exposure factors. CR directed 1 inch inferior to medial malleolus. Could have been collimated more.
mAs: 4.00
kVp: 65
EI : 195
DI: -1.0
Changes to be made: CR angled 10 degrees posteriorly, and directed to the base of the 3rd MT. Entire foot visualized. No rotation present of metatarsals. MTP joints are open. Marker is present. Foot is slightly off center and collimation needs to be brought in more. Optimal exposure factors.
mAs: 4.00
kVp: 70
EI : 1138
DI: -0.4
Changes to be made: CR directed 40 degrees cephalad to the base of the 3rd MT. Entire calcaneus visualized. Foot needs to be dorsiflexed more, and collimation needs to be brought in as entire foot is demonstrated. Optimal exposure factors.
mAs: 4.00
kVp: 80
EI : 76 (good but slightly on the lower end)
DI: 1.8
Changes to be made: CR directed midway between malleoli. Distal 1/3rd of tibia and fibula demonstrated. Collimation needs to brought in to demonstrate proximal 1/2 of metatarsals instead of entire metatarsals demonstrated. Superior aspect of ankle joint open, medial is not open indicating rotation. mAs could be brought up as it was taken on a portable.
mAs: 4.00
kVp: 65
EI : 194
DI: -1.1
Changes to be made: 20-degree rotation when a 30–40-degree medial rotation was needed. CR directed to the base of the third MT. Lateral 3rd and fourth metatarsals free of super imposition. First through the third metatarsals superimposed. Tuberosity demonstrated at the base of the fifth metatarsal. Marker present but needs to be on the lateral side of the foot. Optimal exposure factors.
mAs: 3.20
kVp: 65
EI : 2644
DI: 10.2
Changes to be made: Entire foot visualized. Tibiotalar joint demonstrated and open. Metatarsals superimposed. Collimation could have been grought in tighter and mayble slightly overexposed but otherwise good.
mAs: 4.00
kVp: 80
EI : 382
DI: 2.6
Changes to be made: Entire talus is demonstrated, entire calcaneus is not visualized. CR is off center. Lateral malleolus superimposed over posterior half of tibia. Metatarsals visualized when they should not be. Repeat image.
