MCQ + 3D Model Interaction (Foundational)
Topic: Anatomical Planes
Stem:
"A patient is positioned for a lateral projection of the thorax. Which anatomical
plane is parallel to the image receptor?"
a) Coronal
b) Sagittal
c) Transverse
d) Oblique
Added Value:
• 3D Model Link: "Rotate the 3D torso model [here] to visualize planes."
• Clinical Tip: "For lateral chest, ensure the midsagittal plane is
perpendicular (Bontrager p. 18)."
2. Trauma Case Scenario (Advanced)
Topic: Emergency Positioning
Stem:
"A motor vehicle accident victim arrives with suspected C-spine injury. They are
unable to stand. Which projection should be performed FIRST?"
a) AP supine chest
b) Horizontal beam lateral C-spine
c) AP axial skull
d) Oblique ribs
Added Value:
, Delights Test Banks 3
• Video Demo: "Watch horizontal beam technique for trauma patients
[link]."
• Rationale: "Avoid moving the patient; horizontal beam minimizes cervical
spine manipulation."
3. Image Critique + Short Answer
Topic: AP Hip Evaluation
Stem:
"The obturator foramina in this AP pelvic radiograph are asymmetric. What is the
most likely positioning error, and how do you correct it?"
Added Value:
• Interactive Tool: "Adjust pelvic rotation in this simulation [link]."
• Reference: "Bontrager p. 312: Pelvis rotation alters obturator foramen
symmetry."
4. Pediatric Workflow (Case Study)
Topic: Communication & Safety
Stem:
*"A 3-year-old patient is crying during a knee X-ray. The parent insists on
holding the child. How do you respond while adhering to ALARA principles?"*
a) "You must leave the room."
b) "We’ll use a foam immobilizer to protect you."
c) "Hold their leg tightly."
d) "We’ll skip the exam."
, Delights Test Banks 4
Added Value:
• AR Demo: "Scan this code to see foam immobilizer placement in AR."
• Ethical Note: "ALARA requires minimizing exposure to non-patients
(Bontrager p. 45)."
5. Pathology-Based MCQ (Intermediate)
Topic: Scoliosis Series
Stem:
*"Which projection is essential for evaluating scoliosis curvature progression in
a 14-year-old patient?"*
a) AP lumbar spine
b) PA upright thoracolumbar spine
c) Lateral femur
d) AP sacrum
Added Value:
• Case Image: "Compare pre/post-treatment scoliosis radiographs [link]."
• Rationale: "PA reduces breast dose in pediatric patients (Bontrager p.
202)."
6. Adaptive AI Question
Topic: Femur Positioning
Stem:
Based on your last error (incorrect CR angle for AP femur), the AI adjusts
difficulty:
