A NEW INSTRUMENT TO SUPPORT EXAMINATION OF DISTAL RADIUS ON WRIST RADIOGRAPH

Abstract

Objectives: To construct an instrument that supports wrist position control according to a number of shooting angles in anteroposterior and lateral position during X-ray examination. Materials and methods: Term such as criteria for evaluating wrist X-ray films, current technical status, some concepts about posture have been scientifically researched. Based on those things to provide research directions and design tool samples. A male volunteer, 36 years old agree to participate in the study, X-rays were taken in an anteroposterior and lateral position for investigation. Results and Conclusion: Initial evaluation shows that this tool is easy to use and only takes a little time to get used to the adjustment operations. The benefit that the device brings is that it helps stabilize the wrist position during X-rays, helping to adjust the angles within the range of motion of a normal person, produces more accurate wrist X-ray results, without having to take multiple scans, saving effort, machine wear and tear costs, creating practical benefits for patients, medical staff, researchers and hospital.
