RADT313 - Surg Rad
unit 1. Surgical Radiography
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| With the tube and intensifier in a horizontal position, at which side of the patient should the surgeon stand if they must remain near the patient -- the x-ray tube side or intensifier side? | Intensifier |
| What are the two primary components of a mobile fluoroscopy unit? | X-ray tube and image intensifier |
| What is the common term for a mobile fluoroscopy unit? | C-arm |
| Why shouldn't the mobile fluoroscopy unit be placed in the AP projection (tube on top)? | Increases dose to operator |
| Of the two monitors found on most mobile fluoroscopy units, which one is generally considered the "active" monitor (one displaying dynamic imaging) -- the right or the left? | Left |
| True/false: The intermittent mode used during mobile fluoroscopy procedures is helpful during procedures to produce brighter images but it results in significantly increased patient exposure. | False |
| Name the feature that allows an image to be held on the monitor while also providing continuous fluoroscopy imaging. | Roadmapping |
| What are the four essential attributes of a successful surgical technologist? | 1. Confidence 2. Mastery 3. Problem-solving skills 4. Communication |
| What is a nonsurgical orthopedic procedure to fix a fracture called? | Closed reduction |
| What is a device typically used to reduce femoral, tibial and humeral shaft fractures? | Intramedullary nail |
| Isolation drape that separates the sterile field from the nonsterile field | Shower curtain |
| True/false: Wearing a protective lead apron is optional if the technologist is at least 8 feet away from the x-ray source in surgery. | False |
| True/false: The x-ray tube on a C-arm can be rotated around the surgical table 180 degrees. | True |
| What is the primary advantage of the "pulse mode" on a C-arm unit? | Reduces dose |
| A technologist receives 30mR/hour during a C-arm procedure. What is the total exposure dose if the procedure takes 8 minutes of fluoro time? | 4 mR |
| True/false: A 30 degree tilt of the C-arm II away from the operator will increase dose to the head and neck region by a factor of four. | True |
| CST is the acronym for: | Certified Surgical Technologist |
| The absence of infectious organisms is the definition for: | Asepsis |
| True/false: Scrubs worn in radiology may also be worn in surgery provided they were not worn outside the facility. | False |
| What is "boost" on a C-arm? | High level fluoroscopy |
| ORIF stands for: | Open Reduction Internal Fixation |
| True/false: Intramedullary rod insertion requires the use of a C-arm. | True |
| Who gowns the members of the surgical team? | Scrub tech |
| True/false: If you accidentally touch the very top of your C-arm drape when moving to a lateral position, you should notify a member of the surgical team IMMEDIATELY. | True |
| True/false: The exposure dose is greater on the II end than on the x-ray tube end of the C-arm. | False |
