Abstract
The purpose of this study devised a method for the examination of the images of the first and second rib fractures of the axillary using Rib Rando Phantom. The position of the phantom and the angle of the X-ray tube were changed to vertical, head 5° and foot 5°. The Radiological Technologists subjectively evaluated the acquired images and the evaluation data were analyzed by SPSS 3.0 ver. The signal to noise ratio(SNR) was calculated using the ImageJ Program. As a result, the cronbach alpha value was significantly higher at 0.789. The SNR was highest at 6.038 when the X-ray tube was tilted 5° toward the head in the front of the ribs and highest at 7.860 when the X-ray tube was tilted 5° toward the foot. Radiographic Techniques proposed axillary ribs this study are as follows. The anterior rib scan is examined by elevating the fractured area and changing the X-ray tube angle by 5° towards the head. The posterior ribs scan is examined by attaching the fractured area and changing to the X-ray tube angle by 5° towards the foot. It is considered that such an inspection method can obtain a sharp image.
