ERCP stands for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and is done to
(2 things) - correct answer-1.diagnose biliary and pancreatic pathology
2. investigate CBD, gallbladder and pancreas
SC20 (p 24) timer accuracy must be accurate to ___second or __ of the setting,
whichever is greater. - correct answer-1/60
7%
Ball catchers view is good to assess this - correct answer-early stages of
Rhematoid arthritis
Low blood pressure due to standing upright (dizziness after getting up from a
supine position) - correct answer-orthostatic hypertension
Significance of Shenton's Line - correct answer-To evaluate hip pathology
,The body part perpendicular to the CR when doing an intercondylar fossa is: -
correct answer-long axis of the leg (Tib/FIB)
Purpose of lateral bending for scoliosis - correct answer-Determine structural
change in early diagnosis
(structural vs non-structural)
Curves in non structural are compensatory
optimum Kvp for chesticle and why - correct answer-100-130
provides long scale of contrast to visualize lung detail
How to adjust CR for a PCXR on a kyphotic patient: - correct answer-Angle up
slightly
OR
leave CR straight
Maximum size focal spot for scaphoid: - correct answer-0.6mm
Medication that may be added to the contrast to prevent a reaction - correct
answer-1. Steroid or anti histamine prior
-->Contrast media should never be mixed with medication
Test tool used to test focal spot: - correct answer-Slit camera; also pinhole
camera + star pattern
, Size of focal spot effects penumbra - what does penumbra effect? - correct
answer-recorded detail
a. Through angling the target, the effective area of the target is made much
smaller than the actual area of electron interaction, this is known as - correct
answer-line focus principle
The pedicles sit too far posterior on vertebral bodies for an oblique L spine, what
does this mean - correct answer-Too much obliquity
This line is Used for measuring central venous pressure as well as allowing
nutrients and fluid to be instilled; best location would be brachiocephalic vein at
the junction of the SVC or actually within the SVC itself - correct answer-CVP line
a. Purpose =

5. to give fluid or inject drugs - correct answer-Swanz Gans Catheter
The numerous folds of the mucous membrane of the small intestine, running
transversely for about two-thirds of the circumference of the gut - correct
answer-Plia circularis
