Change:  The lateral spine radiograph was performed using the automatic exposure chamber at 85 kVp. An acceptable exposure was achieved but the area of interest is partially obscured by bowel gas. The mAS was determined by the AEC device and was recorded as 50 mAS. The radiographer considered   View changes from previous version. (Word count: 585)
