PROSEDUR PEMERIKSAAN RADIOGRAFI CLAVICULA DENGAN KLINIS FRAKTUR DI RSUD RAA SOEWONDO PATI

Abstract

Background: Clavicula examination procedure with clinical fractures in radiology installation RAA Soewondo Pati Hospital was using only Antero Posterior (AP) projection. The purpose of this research is to know the clavicle examination procedure with clinical fractures and find out the reasons for using Antero Posterior (AP) projections.

Methods: Type of this research is qualitative research with approach case studies. Data were collected by observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation.
