AB  - In  general,  follow  this  principle:  Obtain  plain  films  before  obtaining  films  that  require  contrast.  Each  hospital  has  its  own  guidelines  for  patient  preps.  Consult  the  radiology  department  before  ordering  any  x-ray  that  requires  a  prep.  Examinations  that  require  no  specific  bowel  preparation  are  routine  CXR,  flat  and  upright  abdominal  films,  cystograms,  C-spines,  skull  series,  extremity  films,  CT  scans  of  the  head  and  chest,  and  many  others.
