Question
Answer
Asthenic   body is slender and light, bony framework is delicate, long narrow thoraxis smaller in the extreme, with a long thorax; a very long, almost pelvic stomach; and a low medial gallbladder. The colon is medial and redundant  
🗑
Hyposthenic   somewhat lighter, less robust than Sthenic, similar to asthenic but stomach, intestines and gallbladder are situated higher in abdomen  
🗑
Sthenic   most predominant type, athletic build, average, similar to hypersthenic but modified by elongation of abdomen and thorax  
🗑
Hypersthenic   the very large individual with short, wide heart and lungs; high transverse stomach and gallbladder; and peripheral colon  
🗑
With the AP oblique projections (RPO and LPO positions), which kidney is perpendicular and which kidney is parallel   the kidney that is farther away is placed parallel to the IR, and the kidney that is closer is placed perpendicular to the IR.  
🗑
The lateral C-spine demonstrates   apophyseal joints, intervertebral disk spaces, and spinous processes  
🗑
The stomach is normally angled   with the fundus lying posteriorly  
🗑
What is the position of the the body, pylorus, and duodenum   inferior to the fundus and angled anteriorly  
🗑
The posterior oblique positions (LPO and RPO) of the lumbar vertebrae demonstrate the apophyseal joints   closest to the IR.  
🗑
The Lateral L-Spine best demonstrates   the intervertebral disk spaces, intervertebral foramina, and spinous processes  
🗑
45 degree oblique of L-Spine demonstrates   Apophyseal Joints  
🗑
The thoracic apophyseal joints are   70° to the MSP and are demonstrated in a steep (70°) oblique position  
🗑
Lateral T-spine best demonstrates   intervertebral disk spaces and intervertebral foramina  
🗑
Ampiarthrotic joint   partially movable joint  
🗑
Synarthrotic joints   are immoveable  
🗑
What groups of organs/structures are located in the left upper quadrant   are the fundus of the stomach, the left kidney and suprarenal gland, and the splenic flexure  
🗑
The tangential ("sunrise") projection is used to demonstrate   the articular surfaces of the femur and patella. *****It is also used to demonstrate vertical fractures of the patella.  
🗑
The AP oblique projection (medial rotation) of the elbow   superimposes the radial head & neck on the proximal ulna. It shows the olecranon process w/in the olecranon fossa, also projects coronoid process free of superimposition.  
🗑
The radial head is projected free of superimposition   in the AP oblique projection (lateral rotation) of the elbow  
🗑
Free air in the abdominal cavity is best visualized when the patient is   left lateral decubitus or erect AP  
🗑
A dorsal decubitus projection of the chest may be used to evaluate   small amounts of fluid in the posterior chest  
🗑
How is the Dorsal Decubitus position obtained   with the patient supine and the x-ray beam directed horizontally  
🗑
The RAO position in an Upper GI series best demonstrates   pyloric canal and duodenal bulb along with; the barium-filled esophagus, projecting it between the vertebrae and the heart  
🗑
The recumbent AP with slight left oblique best demonstrates   a double contrast of the pylorus and duodenum  
🗑
Parts of Sternum   Manubrium most proximal part(4 sides), Body or Gladiolus middle portion, Xiphoid Process or Ensiform most distal  
🗑
Thoracic Cavity is lined by   serous membranes called pleura  
🗑
Two Pleura walls   parietal (outer), visceral (inner). Parietal lines the thoracic cavity. Visceral is reflected over the surface of the lungs and projects between the fissures  
🗑
When examining ribs, in oblique positions which portion will be demonstrated   which ever side is closest to film.  
🗑
To demonstrate the ap oblique projection of the SI Joints   the affected side must be elevated 25 degrees  
🗑
AP oblique SI Joint places the joint   perpendicular to IR and parallel to CR.  
🗑
Anterior oblique projections of a Upper GI study will open up which flexure and colon   The flexure and colon closest to the film  
🗑
Posterior oblique projections of a Upper GI study will open up which flexure and colon   the flexure and colon furthest from the film  
🗑
Articular facets form   Apophyseal Joints  
🗑
Intervertebral joints are well visualized in   the lateral projections of all the vertebral groups  
🗑
Male pelvis   • Heavy and thick general structure • Greater, or false, pelvis is deep • Pelvis brim, or inlet, is small and heart-shaped • Acetabulum is large and faces laterally • Pubic angle is less than 90° • Ilium is more vertical  
🗑
Female pelvis   • Light and thin general structure • Greater, or false, pelvis is shallow • Pelvis brim, or inlet, is large and oval • Acetabulum is small and faces anteriorly • Pubic angle is more than 90° • Ilium is more horizontal  
🗑
Vertebral groups that form Lordotic curves   Cervical and Lumbar  
🗑
Vertebral groups that form Kyphotic curves   Thoracic and Sacral  
🗑
With oral administration, barium sulfate suspension would first pass through   the upper GI tract—mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach (fundus, body, pylorus), small bowel (duodenum, jejunum, ileum), large bowel (cecum, ascending colon, right colic/hepatic flexure), transverse colon, left colic/splenic flexure, & desc colon, sigmoid  
🗑
Intervertebral Foramina are formed by   vertebral notches of the pedicles.  
🗑
A single-contrast examination demonstrates   the anatomy and contour of the large bowel, as well as anything that may project out from the bowel wall eg, diverticula  
🗑
The articular facets (apophyseal joints) of the L5–S1 articulation form   a 30° angle with the MSP; they are therefore well demonstrated in a 30° oblique position  
🗑
Which of the following sequences correctly describes the path of blood flow as it leaves the left ventricle   Arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins  
🗑
The contraction and expansion of arterial walls in accordance with forceful contraction and relaxation of the heart is called   pulse  
🗑
Performance of the Valsalva maneuver fill   the larynx and trachea with air, which is well demonstrated on soft tissue study  
🗑
