est Bank for Adaptive Radiography with Trauma, Image Critique and Critical Thinking 1st Edition Quinn Carroll, Dennis Bowman Chapter 1: Foundational Principles TRUE/FALSE 1. The use of anatomical landmarks for centering and collimating the x-ray beam is generally more reliable than “blanket rules” based on gender or other unscientific notions. ANS: T PTS: 1 2. Soft-tissue landmarks are equally as accurate as bony landmarks for positioning and centering of the x-ray beam. ANS: F PTS: 1 3. Physical palpation is more reliable than visually estimating the location of a landmark. ANS: T PTS: 1 4. All body movements are equivalent to some type of angulation of the x-ray beam: In PA projections, flexion is equivalent to a caudal angle and extension is equivalent to a cephalic angle. ANS: F PTS: 1 5. When adapting a position for trauma or other circumstances, correct alignment of the CR with the anatomy always takes precedence over perpendicularity of the CR with the IR. ANS: T PTS: 1 6. Anatomy close to the midline of the body will not shift much in either direction with body rotation. ANS: T PTS: 1
