Further views
Thanks for your efforts in creating this post. I often ask myself in the fast paced environment of A&E X ray if I am justified to pursue further views when not totally convinced by the standard/modified views already obtaned. This post has gave me the reassurance in my beliefs that obtaining a further view is best practice when all clinical, radiographical and physical factors are considered in favor. I know that sounds obvious but these judgements can be pressured in a busy department.

Artifacts in II images
A simple test discovered serious image lag/superimposing of previous images in an 1K x 1K Imager-Intensifyer system. This system was until recently used for UVI exams, and nobody knows how many times a marker ore a calcification in previous patiens has been mistaken for patology.. After this test, with imaging a lead-ruler in different positions, the laboratory was immediatly shut down. It was too expensive to repair, and the department bougth a new system some months later. Has anyone found similar problems?

comment on CR Banding image
Images are difficult to reveiw in this format, but it seems that the PA chest labeled CR Banding, has a artifact caused more from processing then from grid ratio. This is also called "blooming artifact" It at least appears to be. Grid More artifact is demonstrated in its perfection on the website you posted: http://bloggingradiography.blogspot.com/2008/01/to-grid-or-not-to-grid.html
Grid morie is generally seen on images displayed on monitors, as I have never seen it on a medical image in print as you described in your post. "It is caused by the same principle that causes a moire artifact in printing."
I would appreciate your exanding on your thoughts on this in a print medium.
