Abstract


Film rejection analysis is the process of calculating repeated exposure and determining the causes of repetition, so that they can be minimized or even eliminated. This study aims to determine the rejection ratio of films from extraoral dental radiography examinations, as well as the causes of each rejection percentage and efforts to reduce it. This study has a quantitative model with a descriptive approach. The research was conducted at the Radiodiagnostic Department of the Dental Hospital, Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang in January-June 2022 with a total number of 232 radiographic film data. There were 4 radiographs that were rejected with the factors causing patient movement (50%), patient position (25%), and modality settings (25%). The film rejection ratio in the Radio-diagnostic Department of the Dental Hospital, Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang is 1.7% (< 2%) so that a repair program is not needed.
