100
What plane divides the body into right and left sections?
Sagittal plane
100
How many ribs should be shown in a PA CXR?
10
100
What does KUB stand for?
Kidneys Ureters Bladder
100
What is the largest carpal bone?
Capitate
100
What projections are required for a clavicle exam?
AP and Axial
200
How many bones are in the appendicular skeleton?
126
200
Why should a CXR be taken erect?
The diaphragm can move down further, prevent engorgement of vessels, visualize air-fluid levels
200
Which muscle should be demonstrated on an abdomen projection on an average sized patient?
Psoas major
200
Which carpal is most commonly fractured?
Scaphoid
200
Which term describes the medial end of the clavicle?
Sternal extremity
300
What position is the patient in?
RAO
300
What anatomy is labeled by letter F?
Costophrenic Angle
300
Why is the right kidney usually lower than the left kidney?
The liver
300
Which anatomy is demonstrated on an internal oblique elbow projection?
Trochlea and coronoid process
300
What type of joints make up the shoulder girdle?
Diarthroidal
400
What projection is represented in the image?
Mediolateral
400
Why should the left side be against the IR during a lateral CXR versus the right?
The heart lies more on the left side and would be magnified if a right lateral CXR was performed.
400
Where are the kidneys located in the peritoneum?
Retroperitoneal
400
What is the name of the depressions on the anterior aspect of the distal humerus?
radial and coronoid fossa
400
How much kVp should be used for a shoulder?
75 kVp
500
How many images are required when imaging a joint?
3
500
Why should the IR and CR be lowered for a lateral CXR?
Prevents the costophrenic angles from being clipped because the OID is increased causing them to project lower
500
What two things are missing/clipped from this image?
Marker and bladder is clipped
500
If the fourth and fifth metacarpals are superimposed on a PA oblique of the hand, what positioning error has happened?
Too much rotation of the hand and/or wrist
500
Which type of rotation would show the greater tubercle laterally in profile
External rotation
