Abstract
The Full-length examination of the femur sometimes does not show all of the femur because of the limited width in collimator and size of detectors although it is located in the diagonal direction. Aim of this study is to identify usefulness of the method of combining images which obtained from two radiographic images containing the femoral head and condyle respectively. Our group interviewed 30 radiological technologists who used both palliative DR method and SM method in their examinations of the femur of patients who were carried to the emergency rooms in Gwang-ju city from August 2007 to November 2009. We evaluated twenty images according to the contraction of femoral neck, turning of knee joints and inclusion of the femur. The examination were performed by two radiologists and six radiological technologists who have more than ten years of career. The results are as follows: SM method was graded with higher score for examination time, number of examiners, emaciation, retake and patients' discomfort (p< 0.001) while the. SM method was scored higher than the palliative DR method in the palliative DR method for examination of long bone.
