Question
Answer
Brightness can be adjusted through postprocessing _________   windowing  
🗑
Intensity refers to the total _____ of xray photons   QUANTITY  
🗑
______ is the controlling factor for intensity   mAs  
🗑
Contrast is   the ratio or % difference between two adjacent brightness levels  
🗑
Subject contrast demonstrates   the degree of differential absorption from different body structures (atomic number, atomic density, part thickness)  
🗑
____ is the controlling factor for contrast   kVp  
🗑
Histogram peaks and valleys represent   the subject contrast in the remnant radiation  
🗑
Quantum mottle   amount of exposure (photons) reaching the IR is TOO LOW **re-exposure is necessary**  
🗑
On CXR, if angled too cephalically   clavicles are projected UP (<1" above apices) lordotic view  
🗑
On CXR, if angled too caudally   clavicles are projected DOWN (>1" above apices)  
🗑
This view is good to see a boxer's fx of the 5th MC   PA Oblique Hand  
🗑
On a lateral hand   2nd - 5th MC heads superimposed; do NOT care about radius & ulna superimposition  
🗑
Name the bones of the wrist   (L to R bottom row, then L to R top row) Scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform Trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate  
🗑
AP Elbow   1/8th of radius and ulna are superimposed  
🗑
AP Internal Oblique Elbow   MORE superimposition of radius and ulna  
🗑
AP External Oblique Elbow   "EXES" radius and ulna are separated  
🗑
AP Humerus epicondyles   PARALLEL to IR  
🗑
Lateral Humerus epicondyles   PERPINDICULAR to IR  
🗑
Thin (asthenic) pts get ____ angle on AP Axial Clavicle   25-30 degrees  
🗑
Large (hypersthenic) pts get ____ angle on the AP Axial Clavicle   15-20 degrees  
🗑
Lateral rotation of oblique foot ______ superimposition of metatarsal bases   increases  
🗑
Medial rotation of oblique foot _____ superimposition of metatarsal bases   decreases  
🗑
AP Ankle   Medial mortise is open & tibia covers 1/2 of distal fibula  
🗑
AP Knee   Tibia covers 1/2 of proximal fibula  
🗑
If your AP Knee shows the fibula popped out laterally then there was   too much internal rotation  
🗑
If your AP Knee shows MORE superimposition of the fibula and tibia then there was   too much external rotation  
🗑
AP Axial SI Joints angle   30 degrees cephalic for MALES and 35 degrees cephalic for FEMALES  
🗑
AP Oblique SI Joints position   roll 25-30 degrees posterior oblique center 1" medial to upside ASIS  
🗑
More lordotic curvature of C-spine =   MORE cephalic angle needed (like 20 degrees)  
🗑
Lumbar AP Oblique Average ___ rotation   45 degrees  
🗑
Lumbar AP Oblique L1L2 ____ rotation   50 degrees  
🗑
Lumbar AP Oblique L5 ____ rotation   30 degrees  
🗑
In a good lumbar oblique, the pedicle should be   midway between the midline and lateral border of the vertebral body  
🗑
Insufficient oblique lumbar, the pedicle is   closer to the LATERAL of the vertebral body  
🗑
Excessive oblique lumbar, the pedicle is   closer to the MIDLINE border of the vertebral body  
🗑
PA Oblique Sternum position is   15-20 degree RAO w/ orthostatic breathing  
🗑

🗑
Lateral Lower Leg   Tibia covers 1/2 fibular head  
🗑

🗑
Lateral Coccyx CR to   3-4 in posterior to ASIS and 2 in distal  
🗑
For the Towne Method the dorsum sellae is   centered WITHIN the foramen magnum  
🗑
WATERS:   MML perpendicular to IR; OML forms 37 degree angle with IR; PR BELOW Maxillary sinus

🗑
SMV   IOML is parallel to IR & CR 1.5" inferior to mandibular symphysis  
🗑
