CAMRT exam 2024 with 100% correct
answers
Why include ant ST on lat Cspine - correct answer Pre verterbal fat stripe- widening=#, mass,
inflammation
Air gap technique - correct answer 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 answer reduces lung vol, pneumo occupies larger area- easier to
