Abstract

Abstract : This editorial examines current collimation and cropping practices in general radiography. We critically reflect on whether we are concerned by the practice of collimation creep amongst radiographers. Discussions around policy, evidence‐based practice and potential hypocrisies are outlined in this editorial piece.
