|---|---|
| When identifying a patient, what are the two most common identifiers? | Birthdate and Last Name |
| Which one is NOT a characteristic to look for in radiation protection practices? | Correct Procedure Algorithm |
| Anatomical relationships are affected by 1. varying degrees of patient obliquity and flexion. 2. off-centering. 3. geometrical factors of magnification, elongation, and foreshortening. 4. similar structures of shape and size. | All are correct |
| What is the term for when a disease is present at birth? | Congential |
| The changes in mature cells that is abnormal is referred to as being _______ | Dysplasia |
| syndrome is best defined as | signs and symptoms that characterize a specific abnormal disturbance. |
| The lowest level of structural organization in the human body is the _____ level. | chemical |

| For a hypersthenic patient, the IR is positioned | Crosswise |
| AECs 1. Assist in increasing detail 2. Reduces patient dose 3. Terminates automatically once optimal exposure is reached | 1, 2 and 3 |
| Which modality if preferred when monitoring tumor growths over time? | CT |
| How big must a tumor be in order to be seen on a general radiograph? | 6mm |
| The removal of a lung | Pneumectomy |
| This procedure helps alleviate and drain fluid within the pleural cavity: | Thoracentesis |
| This condition should be regarded as a sign of an important underlying condition, not as a disease | Pleural Effusion |
| This inflammatory disease of the chest is primarily visualized in the upper lobes of the lungs. | Pulmonary Tuberculosis |
| Which of the following is NOT protected within the bony thorax | Epiglottis |
| What is the event of a "collapsed lung?" | Pneumothorax |
| What is the type of pleural effusion that results from trauma, causing blood to enter the pleural cavity? | Hemothorax |
| Which of the following is the most common lethal nosocomial infection? | Pneumonia |
| What view of the chest best visualizes the apices of the lung free from superimposition from the clavicles? | Lordotic |
| A PA chest projections with accurate positioning demonstrates 1. 10 posterior ribs above the diaphragm 2. Equal posterior rib length on both sides of the chest 3. Shoulders depressed 4. Chin tucked towards the neck | 1, 2 and 3 only |
| For a PA chest projection with accurate positioning, the 1. SID is set to 72 inches 2. Shoulders are positioned at equal distances from the IR 3. Midcoronal plane is tilted towards the IR 4. Elbows and shoulders are rotated posteriorly | 1 and 2 only |
| Which side should you mark for an RAO projection of the chest? | Right |
| How many ribs are considered to be "true ribs," in that they connect directly to the sternum via costocartilage? | 7 |
| A PA projection of the SC joints should be taken on ___________. | Expiration |
| Exposure factors between upper and lower ribs will be different. -True OR False | True |
| Posterior obliques are done routinely during a rib series. -True or False | False |
| Pectus Carinatum is a posterior protrusion of the lower aspect of the sternum and xiphoid process. -True or False | False |
| Orthostatic Breathing Technique is preferred for rib imaging. -True or False | False |
| The SC joint is the articulation of these two bones | Sternum and Clavicle |
| How many posterior ribs should be seen on a rib series ABOVE the diaphragm | 7 |
| Direction of the ribs. | The rib cage (entire) IS FOWARD AND DOWN |
| Which of the following is NOT apart of the sternum? | SHAFT |
| How is a lower rib projection obtained? 1. With the patient in an AP position, back is against IR 2. On expiration 3. Using 65 to 70 kVp 4. 40" SID | 1, 2 and 4 |
| The sternoclavicular joint that is closest to the IR will be foreshortened for an oblique projection. | FALSE |
| For a PA oblique sternum projection (RAO): 1. 40-inch (100-cm) SID is used 2. the patient will be angled 35-45 degrees 3. the central ray is perpendicular to the IR 4. orthostatic breathing is used | 1, 3 and 4 |
| Osteomyelitis most often derives from | Bacteria |
| Fractures to the first rib(s) are often associated with injuries to the | Arteries |
| What is the recommended degree of obliquity for an RAO projection of the sternum for an asthenic (thin-chested) type of patient? | 20 |
| Which aspect of the large intestine is found between the left and right colic flexures? | Transverse |
| Name of membrane that covers abdominal cavity | Peritoneum |
| Prominent anatomical landmark found on the anterior of ilium | ASIS |
| Respiration for KUB | Expiration |
| CR for AP erect abdomen projection | 2" above iliac crest |
| Accumulation of fluid in abdomen (specifically peritoneal cavity) | Ascites |
| For a KUB, you must include the ________ and the _______. | Diaphragm and Pubis symphysis |
| Pelvic Characteristics: Narrow and Ala not as flared | Male |
