Abstract

With the purpose of assessing the quality of diagnostic image of chest radiographs from emergency department of University Central Hospital “Dr. Antonio Maria Pineda”, a transversal descriptive study was executed through a systematic revision of chest x-rays, a sample of 100 radiographs was selected, in a non-probable manner in a term of 30 days. These were compared to the quality criteria of European “Guidelines on Quality Criteria for Diagnostic Radiographic Images”, based on anatomical features seen on the image.
