      ab: Radiographic quality control is an integral component of the radiology workflow. In this study, we developed a convolutional neural network model tailored for automated quality control, specifically designed to detect and classify key attributes of wrist radiographs including projection, laterality (based on the right/left marker), and the presence of hardware and/or casts. The model's primary objective was to ensure the congruence of results with image requisition metadata to pass the quality assessment. Using a dataset of 6283 wrist radiographs from 2591 patients, our multitask-capable deep learning model based on DenseNet 121 architecture achieved high accuracy in classifying projections (F1 Score of 97.23%), detecting casts (F1 Score of 97.70%), and identifying surgical hardware (F1 Score of 92.27%). The model's performance in laterality marker detection was lower (F1 Score of 82.52%), particularly for partially visible or cut-off markers. This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of our model's performance, highlighting its strengths, limitations, and the challenges encountered during its development and implementation. Furthermore, we outline planned future research directions aimed at refining and expanding the model's capabilities for improved clinical utility and patient care in radiographic quality control.
