| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does 25-degree cephalic means in CR Angulation ? | Mean central ray is angled 25-degree toward the patients head |
| What is difference between proximal and distal in limb imaging? | Proximal - Refers to limb that is closer to the point of attachment to body. Distal - Refers to limb that is farther away from the point of attachment |
| What are two main classifications of the human skeleton? | Axial and Appendicular Skeleton |
| How Trendelenburg position differ from supine? | Trendelenburg is a type of supine position, where the patient lies on their back, but the body is tilted with head lower than feet. Supine - is simply lying flat on the back with head and feet at same level. |
| What are the three main planes of the Body? | Sagittal, Coronal, and Transverse |
| What is positioning landmarks used for in Radiography? | Used in Radiography to identify specific body points that help align the patient and X-ray beam properly, and ensure targeted anatomy is accurately centered and clearly imaged. |
| What are the routine positions for imaging the upper extremities ? | AP View, Lateral View, Oblique View. |
| What should be kVp be increased during an X-ray exam? | kVp increased when imaging thicker or denser body part, to ensure enough X-ray penetrate and made diagnostic quality image |
| What is purpose of AEC and its role in patient Safety? | AEC is to regulate the amount of radiation exposure to properly exposed image. It helps ensure consistent image quality while minimizing the patient's radiation dose. |
| When should grids be used during X-ray exams? | When imaging body parts thicker than 10 cm. Grids help reduce scatter radiation, improving image contrast and clarity. |
| What are the main components of X-ray system? | X-ray tube, Image Receptor, and Generator |
| How do fixed and tilting X-ray tables differ? | Fixed X-ray tables remain in horizontal position and cannot be angled, while tilting X-ray tables can be adjusted to different angles, allowing the patient to be positioned head-up or head-down for specific imaging works |
| Where should Central ray be centered for a hand X-ray? | Third Metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP) |
| How do supination and pronation differ ? | Supination - Movement that turns the palm or sole upward or forward. Pronation - Movement that turns the palm or sole downward or backward. |
| Why is aligning the long axis of the body part with the image receptor important? | To ensure anatomy is captured clearly and without distortion. Proper alignment improves image quality and helps accurately diagnose the condition. |
