The most important factor in rejecting the films is to have bad position (29.3%) and the second factor is the exposure error (24.4%). Findings indicate that 2.9% of provided images, Lack the proper quality, but without rejecting or repeating them, they were used for patients as the safe films, chiefly in emergency ward, this observed a lot.
