Introduction: Chest radiographic assessment is crucial for diagnosing thoracic diseases. The absence of a suitable protocol can result in flawed images, concealing potential pathologies. Having a protocol grounded in international guidelines will prevent routine errors, yielding high-quality images. Objective: Outline the considerations for the implementation of a procedure protocol in the radiology sector to secure high-quality chest images at two healthcare centres during August to November 2023 in Lima, Peru. Work Description: The deployment of a protocol based on the "European Guidelines on Quality Criteria for Diagnostic Radiographic Images", as well as reviewed studies, have shown that, to achieve images that satisfy the eight quality criteria for radiographic images, at least the following three points should be considered: exposure factors, indications, and patient positioning. Conclusion: The proper application of a PA chest radiography protocol, in accordance with European guidelines, could decrease overexposure in patients, and improve workflow and quality of the images. These aspects could be key to achieve better diagnosis.
