Abstract
From 12 to 26 June 1992 we audited all admissions in all specialities of patients due to have elective surgery. We put preoperative chest radiographs in labelled envelopes, which were then sealed with staples; these envelopes were put in radiography packets, which the patients took back to the ward. The packets were returned to the radiology department after the patients had been discharged. If the staples on an envelope had been removed we concluded that the radiograph had been reviewed.
