Repeated Image

    When I was doing my clinic rotation at Mountain View Hospital, I would observe some x-rays when I wasn't the one performing it. I got to observe an exam (lateral knee) which had to be repeated. The reason this image was repeated was because the patient moved her knee a little up (causing it not to be in a true lateral) when they walked out to shoot the x-ray and caused the femoral condyles not to be in a true lateral, making them not be superimposed on each other. They went back and fixed their positioning by laying her leg flat into a true lateral making sure they didn't rotate it too much and asked her not to move her leg/knee up and hold the position.
