What happens here?
The Spine Bone Connects...
Big or Small
Anything Goes
100
This moves to decrease scatter in the wall or the table.
What is a Bucky?

They are unique to each machine.

This is also known as the atlas.
What is C-1?

What is the Odontoid or Dens?
200
Anything greater than 10cm
What is the thickness to start using a grid?
200
Including grids this also helps to reduce scatter.
What is collimate and decrease kVp?
200
This spinal region consists of 12 vertebrae and has a kyphotic curve.
What is the thoracic region?
200
We offer these to children who feel out of control when having imaging done.
What is valid choices?
200
These are a listing of various exams and includes exposure factors for each exam.
What is a technique chart?
300
This is a human skeleton encased in plastic.
What is a radiographic phantom?
300
You do this to increase contrast and maintain density.
What is decrease kVp by 15% and multiply mAs by 2?
300
The "scottie dogs" are shown on this view
What is the AP Oblique lumbar spine?
300
We consider this when we see multiple injuries, black eyes, or unexplained bruises.
What is non-accidental trauma or child abuse?
300
Most geriatric patients are afraid of doing this.
What is falling?
400
The method of reducing scatter by increasing the OID.
What is the air gap technique
400
When scatter occurs, this imaging component decreases?
What is contrast?
400
This "hole" is so that the spinal cord can go from the brain to the conus equinnus.
What is the vertebral foramen?
400
Children's gonads are immature so we have to be attentive to this.
What is gonadal shielding?
400
This is the most distal portion of the spine.
What is the coccyx?
500
The patient is the principle source of this.
What is scatter?
500
This is placed between the patient and the IR to reduce scatter.
What is a grid?
500
These are seen on the AP Axial Oblique of the cervical spine.
What is the intervertebral foramina furthest from the IR?
500
This is the best immobilization device for doing CXR on children.
What is the Pigg-O-Stat?
500
When doing an AP Thoracic spine, we have to take this into account.
