Abstract
Proper control of radiographic quality is important to guarantee the method high sensitivity and specificity, important factors for diagnostic complementation. It is the responsibility of the practitioner performing the radiological techniques to ensure that all chest radiographs are provided for minimal rotation, good radiographic exposure and adequate inspiration.

Proper control of radiographic quality is important to guarantee the method high sensitivity and specificity, important factors for diagnostic complementation. It is the responsibility of the practitioner performing the radiological techniques to ensure that all chest radiographs are provided for minimal rotation, good radiographic exposure and adequate inspiration
This study aims to evaluate the technical parameters of quality of chest radiographs in a radiology unit in the city of Araputanga - Mato Grosso
Summary
Chest X-ray examination is the most requested and observed in outpatient clinics and emergencies. Chest X-rays is to intended to confirm the information obtained by the history and physical examination [2]. It is up to the professional radiological techniques such analysis, prior to dispensing the radiographic examination. It should be employed to analyze and, if necessary correct the rotation parameters, and display patient’s inspiration [4]. In a properly exposed radiograph medial the clavicles ends must be equidistant from the middle line of the patient, indicating the absence of rotation, the thoracic vertebrae must be discernible weakly through the heart area, and the correct maneuver inspiratory characterized expandability pulmonary appropriate by negative contrast, air, favoring the evaluation of lung and mediastinal field changes [5]
