Patient came to radiology for panorex x-ray.While examining patient, the panorex machine malfunctioned and did not fully expose the patient.Only the left side of the patient was exposed and the right side was blurred out completely.Biomed was made aware of the situation.They promptly came over and checked out the situation and believed that the situation was taken care of, and another attempt was made.During the second attempt the machine malfunctioned again and did not go fully around the patient nor did it go back around after the exposure was made.The patient was sent back to her room and radiology management was made aware.Biomed is currently fixing the equipment, and the ordering physician was made aware and is okay with waiting until the equipment is fixed to get the imaging done.
