CAMRT - Test Review Questions And
Answers Updated 2026
When preparing to add antiseptic iodine to a sterile field, why must
some of the liquid be poured into the sink before adding the remainder to
the sterile container? --Verified--Solution----To wash the container's lip
to prevent contamination, this maintains the sterile field
Why is there a maximum injection pressure for an automatic injection
device during contrast media administration? --Verified--Solution----A
preset maximum injection pressure helps to prevent vessel damage
1. The QC tech performs testing after the image acquired in the past
week demonstrates exposure inconsistencies. Which kVp accuracy test
reading at 80 kVp would require corrective action?
a. 70
b. 72
c. 74
d. 76 --Verified--Solution----a. 70
- this is greater than the acceptable limit of 10%
A football player with broad shoulders presents with an obvious
separation of the AC joint. What upright bilateral AC joints projection
,should be taken to best demonstrate the condition? --Verified--Solution--
--- With weights at 180 cm
- longer SID reduces magnification
What area of the gown is considered part of the sterile field? --Verified--
Solution----The front of the gown, waist to shoulder
What test must be performed first to ensure the validity of a mA linearity
test results? --Verified--Solution----- Timer accuracy
- mA linearity assures that mA stations are accurate. The time and kVp
accuracy must be verified prior to evaluate mA linearity
What demonstrates minimal foreshortening of the femoral neck on on an
axiolateral hip images? --Verified--Solution----- The greater and lesser
trochanters are on the same transverse level
- this will verify that the CR is perpendicular to the femoral neck and the
IR is parallel to the femoral neck
What is the clinical indication for an HSG? --Verified--Solution-----
Infertility assessment
- a Hysterosalpingiogram is used for infertility to demonstrate patency of
uterine tubes
Mr. Rogers presents with fixation devices protruding from the inferior
aspect of his heel. The foot is flexed 70 degree. Calcaneus images have
, been ordered. How should the tech. direct the CR for the axial
projection? --Verified--Solution----- 60 degree cephalad
- must increase the angle by 20 degree (40 + 20) to compensate for
lesser dorsiflexion of the foot
What will best demonstrate any medial or lateral displacement of a
fracture of the ramus of the mandible? --Verified--Solution----Axial AP
(Towne)
Which projection would demonstrate air/fluid levels in the abdomen on
an ICU patient who must remain supine? --Verified--Solution----- Dorsal
decubitus
- this is correct based on the patient's condition; the horizontal beam will
show air/fluid levels
NICU CXR, what can be used to determine if rotation is present? --
Verified--Solution----Foreshortening of the clavicle on the side that the
baby is rotated towards
What are the most appropriate infection control measures for a patient
with MRSA? --Verified--Solution----- Gloves and gown
- keeping any linen used in the patients room
- gowns and gloves are only required because MRSA is transmitted by
direct contact
