RAD 135 Exam 3

QuestionAnswer
To place the patella parallel with the plane of the IR for a PA projection, the heel is usually rotated rotated 5 to 10 degrees laterally
Where is the central ray directed for a lateral projection of the calcaneus? 1 inch distal to the medial malleolus
A lateral knee image (mediolateral) reveals that the femoral condyles are not superimposed. Based on the image below, how should the radiographer correct this image? Position patella closer to the image receptor (IR)
Which projection of the foot will show the cuboid in profile? AP oblique, medial rotation
In the internal oblique position of the Judet method, the _______ hip is elevated ______ degrees affected; 45
The proper CR considerations for the Plantodorsal Axial Calcaneous projection are 40° cephalic, entering the base of the 3rd metatarsal​
A properly positioned AP ankle will demonstrate A superimposed distal tibiofibular joint
In the Clements-Nakayama hip projection, the CR is angled Perpendicular to the femoral neck and angled posteriorly 15-20°, matching the tilt of the IR
An AP oblique projection of the elbow with internal (medial) rotation shows the proximal radius and ulna parallel to each other without superimposition. The patient positioning error could be corrected by Increasing internal rotation
The degree of body rotation for the PA oblique projection (RAO or LAO) of the large intestine is _____ degrees. 35 to 45°
For an AP axial projection of the clavicle, the exposure should be made: At the end of inhalation
How much should the patient be obliqued for a PA Oblique SC joint x-ray? 10-15°
Which central ray (CR) angle is recommended to replace the medial oblique of the elbow using the Coyle method? 45° away from the shoulder
Which condition appears as a pouch like herniation? Diverticulosis
In a double contrast study of the colon , if a patient is in the left lateral decubitus position, what are the areas of interest? Medial wall of the descending colon and Lateral wall of the ascending colon
Where is the IR centered for delayed images (greater than 30 minutes) of the small intestine? Level of the iliac crests
What is NOT an indication for a modified barium swallow? Suspected Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
How much body rotation is required for a PA oblique sternum? 15-20°
Which portions of the large intestine are retroperitoneal? Both the Descending and Ascending Colon
Which projection must be evaluated before taking any other images of and/or moving a trauma patient? Lateral Projection of the C-spine, Dorsal Decubitus Position
In a unilateral modified Cleaves projection, how are the patient's thighs positioned? Hips Flexed with thighs Abducted about 45°
For single-contrast exams a ________________ barium suspension is recommended Low-Density (15 to 35% weight/volume)
To demonstrate the radial head in the axiolateral projection of the elbow (Coyle method), the elbow is flexed 90°
Which GI examination requires the use of time markers on the images? Small Intestine
Where is the CR centered for an AP axial projection of the sacrum? 2 inches above the symphysis pubis
An image of an AP open mouth projection reveals that the base of the skull is superimposed over the dens. What positioning error led to this? Excessive extension of the skull
Where does the central ray enter for the AP Oblique SI joint? 1 inch medial to the elevated ASIS
A patient enters radiology for a routine cranium study. They cannot flex their head and neck sufficiently to place the OML perpendicular to the IR for the AP axial view. What should the technologist do to compensate for this issue? Use the IOML and increase the CR angle by 7 degrees
For a lateral projection of the facial bones, where does the central ray enter? 1/2 way between outer canthus and EAM, on zygoma
To visualize the left SI joint, the ______________ side should be elevated ____________ Affected; 25-30°
Which central ray (CR) orientation is recommended for a standard anteroposterior (AP) axial projection of the skull to demonstrate the dorsum sellae within the foramen magnum? 30° to the orbitomeatal line (OML)
For a lateral L5-S1 projection, the CR must be parallel to the Interiliac Plane
Which of the following projections will project the dens within the shadow of the foramen magnum Fuchs Method
The slope of the articular facets comprising the tibial plateau is 10° to 20° posteriorly
An image of the left sacroiliac joint demonstrates it is open and clearly seen. Which of the following positions was performed? RPO
