In my classes we use digital imaging, but still have to do our own collimation, manually position the x ray tube, and think about what techical factors we are going to be using. At the clinical site though, the collimator opens at the size of the projection selected on the computer, and the computer does the technical factors. Thankfully positioning and detenting is still done by the radiographer, but apparently some hospitals have tubes that are completely automated and the technologist positions and does patient care, but does nothing with the x ray. As someone who is very hands on and wants to actually do what I am learning in school, this really worries me. What does everyone here think about these developments?
