12. Situation: A patient comes into the ED with suspect- AP lordotic
ed calcification in the apices of the lungs under the
clavicles. What projection(s) will best show this?
13. How much separation of the posterior ribs on a lateral greater than 1 cm
chest projection indicates excessive rotation from a
true lateral position?
14. What projection would be used for a patient that is AP semiaxial
too ill to stand for an AP lordotic? CR 15-20 degrees
cephalic
15. Situation: A patient comes to the radiology depart- Ensure correct
ment for a presurgical chest examination. The clin- marker placement
ical history indicates a possible situs inversus of
the thorax. What action must be taken to perform a
successful chest exam?
16. Situation: A young child enters the ER with a possible AP and lateral up-
foreign body in one of the bronchi of the lung. The per airway
foreign body, a peanut, cannot be seen on the PA and
lateral projections of the chest projection. Which ad-
ditional projection(s) could the technologist perform
to locate the foreign body?
17. Situation: A routine chest series indicates a possible AP lordotic
mass beneath a patient's right clavicle. The PA and
lateral projections are inconclusive. What additional
projection(s) could be taken to rule out this condi-
tion?
