By identifying the percentage of the repetition of radiographic images and the factors associated with it, we can significantly make help to reducing the dose of patients, increase the useful life of the equipment, increase the efficiency of personnel, reduce the dose of personnel and make economy in national costs. Materials and Methods: in this descriptive study, the radiographic images had been collected for 3 months from nine governmental hospitals in the province of Sistan and Baluchestan and also the reasons why the radiographic images were not accepted by the experts resident in that center was studied. In this study, the reasons of the repetition of radiographic images were studied as follows: error in exposure conditions, error in positioning the patient, lack of adoption between radiation center and cast center, inappropriate choosing of the film size, movement of the patient, the error resulted from radiography equipment, error in the process of fixation and emergence, lack of appropriate choosing of the radiation point on the limb and other cases. Findings: Of the 34287 films used in nine treatment center, 4434 films were repeated and the overall percentages of the repetition of radiographic images were 12.9% which the maximum percentage of the repetition of radiographic images was in Amiralmomenin Hospital in Zabol&#13;
(26.9%) and the minimum percentage was related to Nabiakram Hospital in Zahedan (6.7%). Of the factors related to the repetition of radiographic images, the maximum percentage of repetition was related to the high radiation condition (3.22%) and the minimum amount was related to inappropriate choosing of the film size (0.21%). The percentage of other factors comprised of choosing the radiation condition (2.38%), error in radiation center (1.88%), error in equipment performance (0.61%), error in the patient__ampersandsignlsquo;s positioning (0.61%), movement of the patient (0.33%), darkroom (1.57%) and other factors (2.08%).__ampersandsignnbsp;Conclusion : The percentage of the repetition of radiographic images in governmental hospitals in Sistan and Baluchestan province are in acceptable level in comparison with the statistics issued in other centers,&#13;
the percentage of the repetition of radiographic images can be significantly reduced and the national capitals can be prevented to be wasted away through taking the measures such as regular quality control of X-ray equipments , training the less experienced personnel and designing the methods of appropriate choosing of radiation condition.&#13;
