QuestionAnswer
Which of the following imaging modalities is often used to diagnose pulmonary emboli? Nuclear medicine
Which of the following terms best describes a patial dislocation of a joint? Subluxation
A bruise type of injury with a possible avulsion fracture is termed a(n): contusion
Which type of fracture is defined as being crushed at the site of impact, producing two or more fragments? Comminuted
Which of the following fractures is described as an incomplete fracture with the cortex broken on one side of the bone? Greenstick
Which of the following fractures is often called a reverse Colles' with anterior displacement of the distal radius? Smith's
Which of the following fractures involves the distal fifth metacarpal? Boxer's
Which of the following fractures involves the spine? Compression
Which type of procedure would be performed in surgery to realign a fracture? Open reduction
True OR False: Generally, only one joint needs to be included for follow-up studies of a long bone fracture. TRUE
A fracture that occurs through the pedicles of the axis (C2), with or without displacement of C2 or C3, is termed __________ fracture. Hangman's
Which fracture is also called a "march fracture"? Stress
A fragment of bone that is separated or pulled away be the attached tendon or ligament is termed a(n) __________ fracture. Avulsion
_________ is used to create an x-ray beam that activates at times increments to reduce exposure during C-arm fluoroscopy. Pulse Mode
What is the minimum distance a technologist should stand away from the x-ray tube during an exposure when using a mobile x-ray unit? 6 feet
Which one of the three cardinal rules of radiation protection is the most effective means of reducing exposure during mobile and surgical procedures? Distance
Which of the following C-arm orientations in general results in the greatest exposure to the operator's head region if the distance from the patient is unchanged (patient is supine)? Anteroposterior (AP) projection (x-ray tube above anatomy)
A 30 degree tilt of the C-arm x-ray tube from the vertical position will increase radiation exposure to the face and neck region of the operator standing next to the C-arm by approximately a factor of: 4
A patient enters the ED with severe trauma to the abdomen. The ED doctor is concerned about bleeding in the abdomen with associated possible free intra-abdominal air. The pt is unable to stand or sit erect. Which position best demonstrates the condition? Lateral Decubitus
Which of the following positions or projections best demonstrates free intra-abdominal air on the patient who cannot stand or sit erect? LEFT Lateral Decubitus
A patient comes to the ED with a possible abdominal aortic aneurysm. Which of the following projections of the abdomen best demonstrates it? Dorsal Decubitus
How should the CR be aligned for a trauma PA projection of the elbow? Perpendicular to the interepicondylar plane
How much rotation of the body is generally required for an PA oblique projection - Scapular Y Lateral? 45 to 60 degrees from AP projection
A pt's lower leg is in traction in the hospital bed. The ortho surgeon orders an AP mortise projection of the ankle. Because of the traction, the lower leg cannot be rotated. The leg is in a straight "foot up" position. What can the x-ray tech do? Perform a CR 15 to 20 degree lateromedial angle AP projection
A patient enters the ED on a backboard with multiple injuries, including an injury to the knee region with a possible stellate fracture noted on the examination requisition. Which of the following routines best demonstrate this injury safely? AP and horizontal beam lateral projections of the knee and patella without knee flexion
Ideally, the horizontal beam lateral projections for the cervical spine require a _______ source image receptor distance (SID). 60 to 72-inch (153 to 183-cm)
The horizontal beam lateral lumbar spine projection requires a CR position that is: perpendicular to the image receptor
The AP reverse Caldwell projection for a trauma skull examination requires the CR be: 15 degrees cephalad to the orbitomeatal line
How is the CR aligned for the acanthiomeatal (reverse Waters) projection for the facial bones? Parallel to the mentomeatal line
A patient enters the ED with a possible greenstick fracture. Which age group does this type of fracture usually affect? Pediatric
