QuestionAnswer
(T/F) Valgus is used to describe a part or deformity that turns inwards (towards the body). False: Valgus describes when a part/deformity is turned outward/away from the body. Varus describes when a part/deformity is turned inwards/towards the body. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 79)
Which pelvis, male or female, features acetabulum that face laterally and a pubic angle of less than 90 degrees? The male pelvis. Other features of the male pelvis include a heavier/thicker bony pelvis, deeper false pelvis, heart shaped pelvic brim, and ilium that sit more vertical (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 79)
(T/F) The coracoid process is located in the elbow, medial to the radial head. False: The coranoid process is located in the elbow. The coracoid process is located on the scapula and sits medial to the head of the humerus. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 79)
Which pelvis, male or female, features acetabulum that face anteriorly and a pubic angle more than 90 degrees? The female pelvis. Other features of the female pelvis include a thinner/lighter bony pelvis, shallow false pelvis, large oval pelvic brim, and ilium that sit more horizontal (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 79)
(T/F) The right lung has three lobes. True: The right lung is separated into three lobes, while the left lung only has two. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 80)
How would technical factors have to be adjusted when imaging a patient with emphysema? Since emphysema is a disease that causes air to become trapped in the lungs, the technical factors would have to be decreased. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 81)
Which three bones form the ankle joint? The tibia, fibula, and talus. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 82)
What should be perpendicular to the IR for an AP axial (Towne) view of the skull? The OML should be perpendicular to the IR. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 83)
What is atelectasis? Atelectasis is either the partial or complete collapse of a lung. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 83)
When and for how long should Metformin/Glucophage be held for an IV contrast exam? Metformin/Glucophage should not be resumed until 48 hours after the contrasted exam. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 84)
(T/F) In the PA skull view, the petrous pyramids will fill the orbits. True (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 84)
What projection of the skull shows the petrous pyramids below the maxillary sinuses? The parietoacanthial (Waters) projection. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 84)
What is luxation? Luxation an injury that causes a part to become dislocated. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 85)
What is a sprain? A sprain refers to an injury involving a wrenching or tearing of ligaments. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 85)
What angle should be used when imaging the knee of a patient whose pelvis is up to 19 cm? 3-5 degrees caudad angle. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 85)
What angle should be used when imaging the knee of a patient whose pelvis is 19-24 cm? No angle is used. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 85)
What angle should be used when imaging the knee of a patient whose pelvis is greater than 24 cm? 3-5 degrees cephalad angle. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 85)
Which projection of the elbow will show the radial head free of superimposition? External/Lateral Oblique (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 86)
If the odontoid can not be shown using the AP open mouth position, what other two positions can be used instead? Fuchs method and Judd method both of which will show the odontoid inside of the foramen magnum. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 86)
What type of injury does the scapular Y view check for? Humeral dislocation. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 87)
When performing a anterior oblique projection of the ribs, should the affected side be towards or away from the IR? Affected side should be away from the IR (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 87)
When performing a posterior oblique projection of the ribs, should the affected side be towards or away from the IR? Affected side should be closest to the IR (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 87)
How much rotation will show the distal tibiofibular joint of the ankle open? 45 degrees medially rotation / 45 degree medial oblique (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 88)
The ASIS sits at the same level as this vertebrae. S2 (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 89)
The iliac crest sits at approximately the same level as these vertebrae. L4-L5 (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 89)
What is a comminuted fracture? A comminuted fracture involves a bone that has been broken into many different pieces or splinters. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 89)
Which two views will show all four groups of sinuses? Lateral and Open Mouth PA Waters (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 94)
Rotating the arm this direction will result in a true AP shoulder. External rotation puts the shoulder into a true AP position. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 96)
Rotating the arm this direction will result in a true lateral shoulder. Internal rotation puts the shoulder into a true lateral position. (Lange Q&A, 10th ed, Pg. 96)
