Abstract

Senior house officers working in 10 major accident units were tested on their ability to name normal anatomical features seen on radiographs of commonly X-rayed areas. The results show that, overall, those tested could only identify 77% of the areas correctly. The discussion considers these results and also considers whether it is important to be able to identify the anatomical features presented.
