Abstract:
This study aimed to assess grid alignment for radiology departments in Khartoum state.
A total of 10 x-ray units in radiology departments in Khartoum state from different manufacture were tested by grid alignment test tool and the optical density for radiographic film was read by transition densitometer .
In this study the final result showed that the percentage of grid misalignment for x-ray machines was (40%), less than those with grid alignment x-ray machines (60%).
Which means almost of the grid were found misalignment.
The study recommended that all x-ray equipment should be regularly checked using quality assurance tests.
