LRA 218 FINAL EXAM PAPER 2026 ACTUAL
EXAM WITH FULL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT SOLUTIONS
⩥ Internal Rotation. Answer: Which of the following AP shoulder
projections demonstrates the lesser tubercle in profile medially?
⩥ True. Answer: For AC joint weight-bearing studies, patients should
not be asked to hold on to the weights with their hands; rather, the
weights should be attached to the wrist.
⩥ False. Answer: A posterior dislocation of the shoulder occurs more
frequently than an anterior dislocation.
⩥ True (2). Answer: Sonography is an effective diagnostic tool in
studying the shoulder joint.
⩥ Increase the cephalic CR angle during repeat exposure. Answer: A
radiograph of an AP axial projection of the clavicle demonstrates that the
clavicle is within the mid-aspect of the lung apices. What should the
technologist do to correct this error?
⩥ parallel. Answer: The AP humerus requires that the humeral
epicondyles are ________ to the IR.
, ⩥ AP and horizontal beam transthoracic lateral shoulder projection.
Answer: A patient enters the department with multiple injuries including
a possible fracture of the left proximal humerus. Which positioning
rotation should be performed to determine the extent of the humerus
injury?
⩥ Internal Rotation (2). Answer: Which of the following AP shoulder
projections demonstrates the lesser tubercle in profile medially?
⩥ No positioning errors occurred. Answer: A lateral elbow radiograph
demonstrates about half of the radial head superimposed by the coronoid
process of the ulna. Which of the following occurred?
⩥ Medial rotation oblique. Answer: A radiograph of the elbow
demonstrates the radius directly superimposed over the ulna and the
coronoid process in profile. Which projection of the elbow has been
performed?
⩥ True lateral with 90º flexion. Answer: Which routine projection of the
elbow will best demonstrate an elevated or visible posterior fat pad?
⩥ Scapular Y lateral projection. Answer: Which of the following
projections can be performed using a breathing technique?
