RAD 202 FINAL

REVIEW FOR RAD 202 FINAL EXAM

QuestionAnswer
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
A left lateral thoracic vertebrae projection demonstrating more than 0.5 inch (1.25 cm) of space between the posterior ribs DEMONSTRATES ROTATION

Which of the following fractures results in a comminuted vertebral body and often times results in neurological damage? TEARDROP BURST
Which of these pathologies of the spine is congenital? Scoliosis Scheuermann Disease Klippel-Feil Syndrome Herniated Disk KLIPPEL-FEIL SYNDROME
_____ imaging allows the visualization of spinal alignment, ligament stability and shows the natural curvature of the spine. ERECT
This is the circular opening in which the spinal cord passes through. VERTEBRAL FORAMEN
These are lateral projections off the vertebrae where the pedicles and lamina join. TRANSVERSE PROCESSES
Which of these is NOT a joint of the spinal column? COSTOCHONDRAL
Which projection of the cervical spine best demonstrates the articulation of the atlas and axis? OPEN MOUTH
What is the CR angulation for an AP axial view of the C-spine? 15-20 DEGREES CEPHALIC
What can the patient do during a T-spine exam to help reduce the curvature of the spine to better visualize the joint spaces? FLEX KNEES AND HIPS
TRUE/FALSE: A herniated disk is when the fibrous outer portion of the intervertebral disk protrudes into the spinal canal. FALSE
TRUE/FALSE: A swimmer's view can be done for both the c-spine and the t-spine. TRUE
TRUE/FALSE: Klippel-Feil Syndrome mainly occurs in the cervical spine. TRUE
These projections are done to demonstrate the vertebral mobility of the cervical spine. FLEXION/EXTENSION
Anterior obliques of the cervical spine require what kind of central ray angulation? CAUDAL
What anatomical structure appears slightly magnified on a swimmer's projection? RIGHT HUMERAL HEAD
The superior and anterior projecting bony process of the sacrum that forms part of the inlet and articulates with L5 is the: PROMONTORY OF THE SACRUM
Which specific aspect of the sacrum articulates with the ilium to form the sacroiliac joint? AURICULAR SURFACE
What is the joint classification of the zygapophyseal joints? SYNOVIAL/DIARTHRODIAL
The intervertebral joints in the lumbar spine are classified as: CARTILAGINOUS/AMPIARTHRODIAL
The radiographic appearance on an oblique lumbar spine in which the neck of the Scottie dog appears “broken” suggests the presence of: SPONDYLOLYSIS
A destructive type of lesion with irregular margins and increased brightness is an indication of possible: OSTEOLYTIC TYPE OF METASTASES
A fracture through the vertebral body and posterior elements caused by lap seat belts during an auto accident involving sudden deceleration is a ____ fracture. CHANCE
Sciatic type of pain resulting from a “slipped disk” indicates: HERNIATED NUCLEUS PULPOSUS
33. What purpose do the sacral foramina have? TRANSMIT BLOOD VESSELS AND NERVES

A twisting of the intestine or colon is termed: VOLVULUS
A telescoping, or invagination, of one part of the intestine into another is termed: INTUSSUSCEPTION
Why is the posteroanterior (PA) rather than the AP projection recommended for a small bowel series? BETTER SEPARATION OF LOOPS OF SMALL INTESTINE
Which of the following is caused by a parasite within the small intestine? GIARDIASIS
When performing a small bowel series, the following are required: 1. Noting the Times 2. Using radiopaque markers on images 3. AP KUB 4. Having patients swallow second barium sulfate tablet at the end 1 AND 2 ONLY
An abnormal opening in the stomach or intestines that allows the contents to leak out into another part of the body are called: FISTULAS
Which of the following occurs in many patients and is defined as an expected outcome to the introduction of iodinated contrast media? METALLIC TASTE IN MOUTH AND TEMPORARY HOT FLASH
