CHAPTER #5 BONTRAGER SELF TEST
Q&A
which clinical indication is best demonstrated with the garth method - ANSWER-
scaphulohumerual dislocations
Which anatomy of the shoulder is best demonstrated with a PA transaxillary
projection (Hobbs modification)? - ANSWER-scaphulohumerual joint space
if the patient cannot funny abduct the affected arm 90 degrees for the inferosuperior
axial projection the technologist can angle the CR ______ degrees toward the axilla -
ANSWER-5 to 15
which of the following projections requires the CR to be centered 2 inches inferior
and medial from the superiolateral border of the shoulder - ANSWER-anterior
oblique (Grashey method)
which anatomy is best demonstrated by the Alexander method - ANSWER-AC joints
which type of injury must be ruled out before the weight-bearing phase of an AC joint
study - ANSWER-fractured clavicle
what is the minimum amount of weight a large adult should have strapped to each
wrist for the weight-bearing phase of an AC joint study - ANSWER-8 to 10 lb
a PA axial projection of the clavicle requires a 35-45 degree caudal central ray angle
- ANSWER-false
a 72 inch SID is recommended for adult acromioclavicular joint studies - ANSWER-
true
which two positioning landmarks are aligned perpendicularly to the IR for the lateral
scapula projection - ANSWER-superior ange and AC joint
a radiograph of an anterior oblique (Grashey method) shoes that the anterior and
posterior glenoid rims are not superimposed. the following positioning factors were
used: erect position, body rotated 25 to 30 degrees toward the affected side, central
ray perpendicular to scaphulohumeral joint space, and affected arm slightly abducted
in neutral rotation, which of the following modifications will superimpose the glenoid
rims during the repeat exposure - ANSWER-rotate body more toward affected side
a patient with a possible shoulder dislocation enters the ER. a neutral AP projection
of the shoulder has been taken, confirming a dislocation. which additional projection
should be taken - ANSWER-AP apical oblique axial (Garth method)
a radiograph of a AP axial clavicle taken on an asthenic-type patient shows that the
clavicle is projected in the lung field below the top of the shoulder. the following
positioning factors were used: erect position, central ray angled 15-degrees cephalic,
