FINAL EVAL CHAPTER 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| THE BONY THORAX CONSISTS OF | STERNUM, TWO CLAVICLES, TWO SCAPULAE, 12 PAIR OF RIBS, 12 THORACIC VERTEBRA |

| WHY MUST THE TECHNOLOGIST SLIGHTLY ANGLE THE CR CAUDAD FOR MOST AP PROJECTIONS OF THE CHEST | PREVENTS CLAVICLES FROM OBSCURING APICES OF LUNGS |
| WHEN USING AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE CONTROL, WHICH IONIZATION CHAMBER SHOULD BE ACTIVATED ON ANTERIOR OBLIQUES | THE UPPER OUTSIDE CHAMBER FARTHEST FROM CHEST |
| A PATIENT COMES TO RADIOLOGY WITH A POSSIBLE MASS BENEATH THE RIGHT CLAVICLE. THE PA AND LEFT LATERAL PROJECTIONS ARE INCONCLUSIVE. WHICH ADDITIONAL PROJECTION CAN BE TAKEN TO DEMONSTRATE THIS POSSIBLE MASS | APICAL LORDOTIC |
| A PATIENT ENTERS THE ER WITH A POSSIBLE HEMOTHORAX IN THE RIGHT LUNG. WITH HELP THE PAITENT CAN SIT ERECT ON A CART. WHICH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ROUTINES WOULD BEST DEMONSTRATE THIS CONDITION | ERECT PA AND RIGHT LATERAL ON CART |
| A PATIENT COMES TO RADIOLOGY FOR A ROUTINE CHEST STUDY. ON THE PA PROJECTION, THE RADIOLOGISTS SEES A POSSIBLE CALCIFICATION NEAR A RIB. BUT SHE CAN'T TELL IF THE CALCIFICATION IS IN THE LUNG OR ON THE RIB. WHAT ADDITIONAL PROJECTIONS? | INSPIRATION AND EXPIRATION PA |
| PATIENT ENTERS ER WITH A POSSIBLE PNEUMOTHORAX IN LEFT LUNG. DUE TO TRAUMA, PATIENT CAN'T STAND OR SIT ERECT. WHICH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING POSITIONS WOULD BEST DEMONSTRATE THIS CONDITION | RIGHT LATERAL DECUBITUS |
| PATIENT IS IN ICU WITH MULTIPLE INJURIES. ATTENDING IS CONCERNED ABOUT A PLEURAL EFFUSION IN THE LEFT LUNG. PATIENT HAD SURGERY RECENTLY AND CAN'T BE PLACED IN ERECT POSITION. WHAT POSITION WOULD BEST RULE OUT PLEURAL EFFUSION | LEFT LATERAL DECUBITUS |
| T/F FOR ANTERIOR OBLIQUES OF THE CHEST, THE SIDE OF INTEREST IS GENERALLY FARTHEST FROM THE FILM | TRUE |
| T/F THE VERTICAL DIMENSION OF AN AVERAGE PA CHEST IS GREATER THAN THE HORIZONTAL DIMENSION | FALSE |
| T/F A SMALL PNEUMOTHORAX MAY BE DETECTED BY PERFORMING INSPIRATION AND EXPIRATION PA PROJECTIONS | TRUE |
| T/F THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF PATIENT DOSE DELIVERED TO THE PATIENT DURING CHEST RADIOGRAPHY IS TO THE SKIN | TRUE |
| WHEN PERFORMING THE LATERAL PROJECTION OF THE UPPER AIRWAY, EXPOSURE SHOULD BE MADE DURING A SLOW, DEEP INSPIRATION RATHER THAN AT THE END OF THE INSPIRATION | TRUE |
| WHAT IS THE PRIMARY DISADVANTAGE OF PERFORMING AN AP PROJECTION OF THE CHEST RATHER THAN A PA | INCREASED MAGNIFICATION OF THE HEART |
| WHICH ONE FO THE FOLLOWING FACTORS MUST BE OBSERVED TO DEMONSTRATE POSSIBLE AIR AND FLUID LEVELS IN THE CHEST | PATIENT IN ERECT POSITION |
| A PA CHEST RADIOGRAPH REVEALS THAT THE PENDULOUS BREASTS OF THE PATIENT ARE OBSCURING THE BASE OF THE LUNGS. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TO LESSEN THE EFFECTS OF THE BREAST SHADOW | ASK PATIENT TO LIFT BREASTS UP AND OUTWARD |
| A PA CHEST RADIOGRAPH REVELS THAT THE LEFT STERNOCLAVICULAR JOINT I CLOSER TO THE SPINE THAN THE RIGHT JOINT. WHAT SPECIFIC POSITIONING ERROR HAS BEEN COMMITTED | ROTATION INTO THE LAO POSITION |
| WHICH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING FACTORS MUST BE OBSERVED TO MINIMIZE MAGNIFICATION OF THE HEART | 72 IN SID |
| WHICH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS WILL REMOVE THE SCAPULAE FROM THE LUNG FIELD | ROLL SHOULDERS FORWARD |
| FOR A FEMALE PATIENT, WHERE IS THE CR PLACED FOR A PA PROJECTION OF THE CHEST | 7 INCHES BELOW THE VERTEBRA PROMINENS |
| WHEN USING AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE CONTROLS WHICH IONIZATION CHAMBERS ARE ACTIVATED FOR A LEFT LATERAL PROJECTION OF THE CHEST | CENTER CHAMBER ONLY |
| HOW MUCH CR ANGLE IS REQUIRED FOR THE AP SEMIAXIAL PROJECTION FOR THE APICES | 15-20 |
| WHICH SET OF CHEST OBLIQUE POSITIONS WILL BEST DEMONSTRATE THE RIGHT LUNG | LAO AND RPO |
| A PATIENT ENTERS THE ER DUE TO SEVERE TRAUMA. THE PHYSICIAN ORDERS AN AP SUPINE CHEST TO EVALUATE THE LUNGS. WHAT CAN THE TECH DO TO REDUCE THE MAGNIFICATION OF THE HEART | INCREASE SID AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE |
| AN AMBULATORY PATIENT COMES TO RADIOLOGY WITH A CLINICAL HISTORY OF POSSIBLE PNEUMONIA. THE PATIENT COMPLAINS OF PAIN IN THE CENTER OF HER CHEST. WHAT POSITIONING ROUTINE SHOULD BE PERFORMED ON THIS PATIENT | PA AND LEFT LATERAL |
| THE CR FOR AN AP SUPINE CHEST SHOULD BE | ALL OF ABOVE - CENTERED TO LEVEL OF T7, CENTERED 8-10 CM BELOW JUGULAR NOTCH, ANGLED APPROX 5 DEGREES CAUDAD |
| THE THYROID DOSE ON AN AVERAGE ADULT AP CHEST WITH CORRECT COLLIMATION IS | APPROX 1 MRAD |
| THE FEMALE BREAST DOSE FOR A CORRECTLY COLLIMATED LATERAL ADULT CHEST IS | BETWEEN 10-15 MRAD |
| THE FEMALE BREAST DOSE FOR A AP CHEST IS APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY TIMES THAT FOR A PA CHEST | 30 TIMES |
| THE CARINA IS LOCATED AT THE APPROXIMATE LEVEL OF | T5 |
| WHICH TYPE OF BODY HABITUS REQUIRES THAT THE CASSETTE BE PLACED CROSSWISE RATHER THAN LENGTHWISE FOR A PA CHEST | HYPERSTHENIC |
| WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS NOT TRUE? | THE LEFT BRONCHUS IS LARGER IN DIAMETER THAN THE RIGHT BRONCHUS |
| A WELL INSPIRED PA PROJECTION WILL HAVE A MINIMUM OF HOW MANY POSTERIOR RIBS SEEN ABOVE THE DIAPHRAGM | 10 |
| WHICH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING OBJECTS DO NOT HAVE TO BE REMOVED OR MOVED PRIOR TO CHEST RADIOGRAPHY | GLASSES |
| WHICH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING TECHNICAL FACTORS IS MOST IDEAL FOR CHEST RADIOGRAPHY | 120 KVP, 400 MA 1/40 SECONDS, 72 INCHES |
| A PA CHEST RADIOGRAPH REVEALS THAT ONLY 8 RIBS ARE SEEN ABOVE THE DIAPHRAGM. WHICH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS WOULD IMPROVE THE INSPIRATIONS OF THE LUNGS | TAKE EXPOSURE ON THE SECOND INSPIRATION |
| A CORRECTLY POSITIONED LATERAL CHEST RADIOGRAPH DEMONSTRATES OSME SEPARATION OF THE POSTERIOR RIBS DU TO THE DIVERGENT X-RAY BEAM. A SEPARATION OF MORE THAN HOW MUCH INDICATED OBJECTIONABLE ROTATION FROM A TRUE LATERAL | 1 CM - 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH |
