If the tube head support arm drifts from its appropriate position when taking a radiograph, the radiographer should ask the patient to hold the PID stable during the exposure

Indicate whether the statement is true or false

False. A drifting tube head should never be held during the exposure either by the radiographer or the patient. Radiation leakage from the tube head can be significant. If the tube head drifts, it should be serviced to stabilize it.
