Principles
, Practice Questions (21 Questions)
1. The term “anteroposterior (AP) projection” means
the central ray passes:
A. From the back to the front of the patient
B. From the front to the back of the patient
C. Laterally across the patient
D. Obliquely at a 45° angle
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: AP projection indicates the X-ray beam
enters anteriorly (front) and exits posteriorly (back).
2. Radiographic positioning refers to:
A. The placement of the body and image receptor for
imaging
B. Exposure factors only
C. Patient medical history
D. Interpretation of the image
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Proper positioning ensures accurate
visualization of anatomy with minimal distortion.
3. The term “lateral projection” means:
A. The central ray passes from side to side
B. From front to back
