REVIEW FOR RAD 202 FINAL EXAM
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| An AP axial cervical projection demonstrates 1. spinous processes within the inferior adjoining vertebral body. 2. open intervertebral disk spaces. 3. spinous processes aligned w midline of the cervical bodies. 4. second cervical vertebra | 2 AND 3 ONLY |
| For a lateral cervical projection, 1. CR is perpendicular to level of C4. 2. a 40-inch SID is used. 3. the exposure is taken on slight inspiration. 4. a 72-inch SID is used. | 1 AND 4 ONLY |
| C7 is not seen on a lateral cervical projection. To demonstrate this cervical , the technologist can do what? 1. take on expiration. 2. have the patient hold weights 3. take a swimmer’s image. 4. angle the central ray 10 degrees cephalically. | 1, 2, AND 3 ONLY |
| For an AP thoracic projection, the 1. shoulders and ASISs are at equal distances from the IR. 2. hips/knees flexed until the lower back is against the table. 3. CR is centered to the fifth thoracic vertebra. 4. tighter collimation to area of interest. | 1, 2 AND 4 ONLY |
| TRUE/FALSE: For a swimmer’s view, it is essential to have a cephalic angle (3-5 degrees) to better visualize C7-T1 joint space? | FALSE |
| TRUE/FALSE: For a swimmer’s view, the patient’s left arm will be elevated, and the right arm depressed at their side. | TRUE |
| An optimal lateral thoracic projection demonstrates all except: Clearly demonstrated intervertebral foramina Open intervertebral disk spaces Posterior half of each thoracic vertebral body Vertebral bodies projected into the posterior lung field | POSTERIOR HALF OF EACH THORACIC VERTEBRAL BODY |
