Abstract
This research investigates the processing of X-ray films and their impact on rejected films at Nasarawa General Hospital. It aims to assess the relationship between X-ray film processing practices and the rate of film rejection due to technical, procedural, and environmental factors. A total of 244 X-ray exposures were recorded over a six-month period, out of which 85 films were rejected due to errors, including poor technique, improper processing, equipment faults, incorrect identification, patient movement, and film fog. The study utilized manual processing methods, and film rejection rates were analyzed across various film sizes, processing parameters, and patient demographics. The findings suggest that poor radiographic technique was the leading cause of rejection. Recommendations include the implementation of regular film reject analysis, the use of high-quality processing materials, continuous professional development for radiographers, and adherence to the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle to enhance patient safety and reduce operational costs....
