The DVM has requested that you image "Sweetum's" right radius. You will collimate to include the:   show
🗑

🗑
show General anesthetic. Positioning must be precise. ET tube usually needs to be removed/repositioned. Measure widest width of cranium. Measurement of nasal passages is taken slightly rostral to widest area as to avoid over-exposing the air-filled sinuses.  
🗑
When taking lateral cervical spine radiographs, the cat/dog should be measured at:   show

🗑
To image the stifle in the caudocranial view for small dogs/cats, the patient is placed:   show
🗑
Describe the technique for acquiring a caudocranial stifle view on a large breed dog.   show
🗑
What is a dynamic spinal view?   show
🗑
show Vertebrae and vertebral spaces further away from the central x-ray beam experience divergence artifact. The spaces appear artificially narrowed and the vertebrae appear falsely elongated.  
🗑
Which of the following gases may be used in a contrast study? (room air, carbon dioxide (CO2), Nitrous oxide (NO-), or all of the above.   show
🗑
Which drugs should not be given prior to an upper GI contrast study? (atropine, barbiturates, anti-emetics, all of the above).   show
🗑
show Images are taken until the contrast agent reaches the colon.  
🗑
An IV catheter should be placed for an IVP (Intravenous Pyelogram) because:   show
🗑
show the use of both a positive and negative contrast agent during the same study.  
🗑
show kidneys and ureters  
🗑
True or false: a fixed kVp chart (kVp is the same setting for all tissue thicknesses of a body region) works equally well for film and digital receptor technologies.   show
🗑
An aluminum step wedge is used to verify the function of the:   show
🗑
show An on-site professional radiology/veterinary technician  
🗑
show Each exposure is recorded with technique information along with comments on the result of the exposure. This can be reviewed at any time to evaluate the image receptor, collimator positioning, or accuracy of technique charts.  
🗑
show They can help identify the locations of strictures. They can help the doctor evaluate GI motility (peristalsis).  
🗑
show The patient should be fasted before the procedure (12-24 hrs). An enema may be necessary (can also decrease gas) or cathartic administered. No fecal material in GI system. Fur should be clean, free of mats, covered during administration of contrast agent.  
🗑
show Do not over-inflate (negative contrast) or fill (positive contrast) the bladder. It can be easily damaged or ruptured. Avoid contrast/urine on patient, cassette, or table. Collect urine sample prior to contrast admin.  
🗑
How does a myelogram indicate information to a surgeon/neurologist?   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
show During every cleaning procedure, prior to instrument submersion in cleaning solution.  
🗑
Why is the upper GI endoscopy performed (3)?   show
🗑
List three patient preparation steps prior to anesthetizing the patient for a colonoscopy.   show
🗑
show Pro: Less invasive, faster recovery, lower mortality rate, shorter anesthetic event. Con: endoscopes are too short to visualize the entire GI tract. Endoscopy biopsy samples are small and while effective are not equal to a surgical sample collection.  
🗑
show The trachea and bronchi can be viewed during a Bronchoscopy.  
🗑
show True  
🗑
True or false: Piezoelectric crystals inside the transducer change shape when an electric current is applied to them.   show
