Guidelines:
- all five tips must be completed before BEAC comp is obtained
- techs do not routinely tip at HMC; be sure to get tips elsewhere
- myelograms are not routine at all sites besides HMC; get this comp while at HMC
- abdomen comp must include diaphragm film
- L-spine at HMC is only two views, therefore you must get your comp elsewhere
- a multicase study is at least three different exams on the same patient at the same time and does not include comparison views
