Why include ant ST on lat Cspine - (correct answers)Pre verterbal fat stripe- widening=#, mass,
inflammation
Air gap technique - (correct answers)reduces scatter, increases contrast
IP 10-15 cm away from pt
mAs increase 10% for every cm gap
Not effective with high kV
why expiration with pneumo - (correct answers)reduces lung vol, pneumo occupies larger area- easier
to see

common with low freq stationary non moving grid
grid strips parallel with scan direction (should be perp)
Grid kV - (correct answers)90kV and less use a 8:1 grid
need 15% more dose
Varus/ Valgus - (correct answers)Varus move distal segment medial
