TRUE
Explanation: Not every undiagnostic radiograph must be retaken. If multiple radiographs are taken at the same time, the radiographer should check to see if the area of interest is imaged on an adjacent radiograph. Sometimes a retake radiograph may be avoided if the area of interest is imaged diagnostically on an adjacent radiograph.
