Final answer:
Repeating a radiographic projection due to an error in selecting exposure factors will result in an increased radiation dose for the patient and the radiographer, which is against the ALARA principle.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement in question is false. If a radiographer makes an error in selecting technical radiographic exposure factors for a specific projection of an anatomic body part, repeating the projection will result in an additional radiation dose for the patient and could potentially increase the radiographer's occupational exposure if proper shielding and distance are not maintained. When imaging is necessary, the benefits must justify the risks, but repeated exposure increases the risk without additional benefit. It is critical in radiology to adhere to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), which aims to minimize radiation exposure by using the lowest possible dose to achieve the necessary diagnostic quality.
