What is the correct breathing instructions for a lateral sternum? Suspended deep inspiration
How many pair ribs articulate directly with the sternum? Seven
The sternoclavicular (SC) joint is classified as what type of joint? Synovial, gliding
When positioning the patient for a right anterior oblique(RAO) view of the sternum, how many degrees of obliquity is needed to sufficiently superimposed the sternum over the heart shadow on an average size patient? 15-20 degrees
Where the top of the images receptor be place when positioning for right anterior oblique(RAO) sternum? 1 1/2 inches superior to the jugular notch
How should the patient arm positioned for a recumbent lateral sternum? Above the patients head
SID for a lateral erect sternum? 60-72 inches
How does rotation for the oblique sternum differ between a patient with a deep, barrel-chested thorax and a patient with an asthenic body type? Deeper thorax requires less rotation
Correct describes the SID for a lateral projection of the sternum? 72 inches to reduce size distortion
The best demonstrate demonstrate a patient that is experiencing left anterior rib pain? RAO and Posterior (PA) projection of the affected side
When performing posterior oblique rib (Right posterior oblique [RPO]), left posterior oblique[LPO], the patient should routinely be rotated to? 45 degrees towards the side of interest
A right posterior oblique (RPO) will best demonstrate of which? Fracture in the central part of the body of the 5th rib
To abduct the patients arm is very important for an oblique rib projection in order to: Elevate the scapula and minimize superimposition of the arm over the ribs.
The correct breathing instructions of radiographs of the ribs is? Full inspiration for the upper ribs and full expiration for the lower ribs
If the patients complains of pain in the left anterior ribs at the level of her shoulder, what is the best projection to take for the patients rib exam? Posteroanterior (PA) and RAO ribs centered over the left side.

The term and the classification for the joint between the head of the rib and the body of thoracic vertebra? Costovertebral, plane(gliding)
To minimize magnification of the ribs( above the diaphragm) when performing an anteroposterior projection, what SID and patient position should be used? 72 inches with the patient erect
The CR entrance point for anteroposterior(AP) oblique radiograph to demonstrate bilateral ribs below the diaphragm? Midsagittal plane, midway between xiphoid and lower rib margin
The CR for a posteroanterior (PA) projection to demonstrate ribs, above the diaphragm? Midsagittal plane at the level of T7
At what level should the CR be centered for (AP) ribs above the diaphragm ? 3-4 inches below the jugular notch
Anterior oblique positioning of the ribs above the diaphragm, the central ray (CR) is centered at what level? 7-8 inches inferior to the vertebra prominens
If the patient injury to the ribs on the lower portion of the right anterior lateral side, what oblique position should be used to best demonstrate the area of interest? LAO below the diphragm
What portion of the ribs is demonstrated on an anterior oblique image of the ribs below the diaphragm? Axillary portion of ribs 10-12
Fo AP ribs below the diaphragm, what is the patient breathing instructions? Suspend respiration on full expiration
