ST
Optimal kVp for an abdomen? - ANS - 65 - 70 kVp
Minimum number of people needed for a stretcher transfer (without slider board)? - ANS - 3
U
What is the Fowler's position? - ANS - Patients head elevated above feet
D
What is the Trendelenburg position? - ANS - Patients head lowered below feet
Y
Three anatomical landmarks assessed for perfect scapular Y view? - ANS - - Coracoid
- Acromion angle
- Medial scapular angle
Ball catchers view is good to assess what? - ANS - Early stages of Rheumatoid Arthritis

2
What is Shenton's Line? - ANS - An imaginary curved line drawn along the inferior border of the superior
pubic ramus and along the inferomedial border of the neck of femur
What is Shenton's Line used for? - ANS - To evaluate hip pathology
What body part perpendicular to the CR when doing an intercondylar fossa? - ANS - Long axis of the
lower leg (Tib / Fib)
M
What is the purpose of lateral bending for scoliosis? - ANS - To determine structural change in early
diagnosis
ED
Optimal kVp for a chest? - ANS - 100 - 130 kVp
How should you adjust CR for a portable Chest X-Ray on a kyphotic patient? - ANS - Angle less slightly or
ST
leave the tube perpendicular so clavicles will be 1" below apices of lung
What is the maximum focal spot size for scaphoid? - ANS - 0.6 mm
U
What medication may be added to the contrast to prevent a reaction? - ANS - A steroid or anti-histamine
D
What test tool is used to test focal spot? - ANS - Slit camera, pinhole camera and star pattern
Y
What does focal spot size effect? - ANS - Penumbra
What does penumbra effect? - ANS - Recorded detail
What is the line focus principle? - ANS - The lower the target angle, the smaller the effective focal spot
size. The higher the target angle, the larger the focal spot size
What is the advantage of line focus principle? - ANS - It provides the detail of a small focal spot while
allowing a large amount of heat dissipation

3
What is the surgical treatment for a pneumothorax? - ANS - Insertion of a chest tube
What are the 5 injection parameters that can be set on the automatic contrast medium pressure
injector? - ANS - - Flow Rate
- Total Volume
- Rise (Linear Rise)
- Injection Pressure
M
- Delay
ED
What is one thing that the pressure injector should always be checked for before injecting a patient and
never be in the syringe? - ANS - Air bubbles
What three major sites are used for BMD scans? - ANS - Hips, Lumbar Spine, Distal Forearm
ST
A pneumothorax is suspected on one of your patients that requires a portable chest x-ray, how should
your technique be adjusted to accommodate for this? - ANS - Decrease, free air in the pleural cavity
U
displaces normal lung tissue and results in decreased density within the thoracic cavity
D
Where do you look for a pleural effusion on a chest x-ray? - ANS - The costophrenic angles and base of
lungs
Y
Where would a vesicovaginal fistula be found? - ANS - Between the bladder and vagina

- Sphenoid
What is the normal rate of respiration for an adult? - ANS - 12-20 breaths per minute
, MEDSTUDY.COM
4
What carpal bone is susceptible to avascular necrosis and why? - ANS - Scaphoid, because its blood
supply enters from the distal portion and can get cut off when the bone is fractured

and Lateral

M
In a RPO position which kidney is best demonstrated? - ANS - Left kidney
ED
Patient has arrived in Fluoroscopy for an esophagus study, the clinical information states that they are
looking for a perforation. What type of contrast will likely be used? - ANS - Iodinated contrast, since it is
water soluble and can easily be reabsorbed into the body without any adverse effects
ST
If the pedicles sit too far posterior on vertebral bodies for an oblique L spine, what does this mean? -
ANS - Too much obliquity
U
Remember: *PP - too much* (posterior pedicles)
D
What is a CVP line? - ANS - Used for measuring central venous pressure as well as allowing nutrients and
fluid to be instilled
Y
Best location for a CVP (Central Venous Pressure) Line? - ANS - Brachiocephalic vein or Superior Vena
Cava
Where does a Swan-Ganz catheter sit? - ANS - The right side of the heart and the arteries leading to the
lungs
What does a Swan-Ganz catheter measure? - ANS - The heart's function and blood flow pressures in and
around the heart
