Abstract

Various radiographic projections are used to produce radiographic images of thoracolumbar vertebrae with scoliosis cases. In theory, the procedure for thoracolumbar radiographic examination with scoliosis cases uses PA (Postero-Anterior) or AP (Antero-Posterior) projections, lateral, Ferguson method, right and left bending projections. However, the Radiology Department of Yogyakarta Regional Public Hospital uses AP projection, lateral, and bending positions. This research aimed to determine the difference between thoracolumbar radiographic examination with scoliosis cases in theory and at the Radiology Department of Yogyakarta Regional Public Hospital and the reasons for the projection. This study is a qualitative descriptive conducted from December 2018 to May 2019 at the Radiology Department in Yogyakarta Regional Public Hospital. The research subjects were three radiographers and one patient with indications of scoliosis. The results showed that thoracolumbar radiographic examination with scoliosis cases in the Radiology Installation of Yogyakarta Regional Public Hospital used AP, lateral, right bending, and left bending projection in the upright position. The Ferguson method is not used because the SOP (Standard Operational Procedure) of scoliosis cases in this hospital only uses those projections. The four projections are appropriate with the radiology request form from the orthopedic physician and sufficient to provide diagnostic information.
