Introduction to critical review of roentgenograms.
Review of available roentgenograms, or x-ray films, by the attending physical therapist may be helpful in precise evaluation of patient status or progress or for educational purposes. This article presents background information on radiology and a simple mnemonic device for use in critically viewing roentgenograms. Eight case studies are presented in a programmed-learning format. Physical therapists are encouraged to adapt the following information to their specific setting and to produce a teaching package suitable for students and new staff members.
