and quadratic located posteriorly
• How much bile is made in the liver? -✓✓ .5 to 1.5 liters per day
• Chole -✓✓ Bile
• Cholangio -✓✓ Biliary ducts or structures
• Cholecyst or cholecysto -✓✓ Gallbladder
• Choledocho -✓✓ Common bile duct (CBD)
• cyst or cysto -✓✓ Bladder
• Cholelithiasis -✓✓ Condition of having gallstones
• Gallbladder procedures -✓✓ 1. PTC: Percutaneous Transhepatic
Cholangiography;
2. Post-op or T-tube Cholangiogram;
3. Immediate or operative Cholangiogram
,• Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography -✓✓ Accesses bile ducts with
"skinny needle" or Chiba through the intercostal rib space for drainage or imaging
purposes
-can cause pneumothorax, punctured liver, hemorrage, sepsis
• Post-op or T-tube cholangiogram -✓✓ Exam where T-tube placed during surgery
for drainage
-done to check potency of biliary structures for no leakage
• Immediate or operative cholangiogram -✓✓ Common GB imaging study, watch
contrast fill biliary structures, after surgery to check for residual stones and fill
• What is the preferred position for gallbladder imaging and why? -✓✓ LAO, to
keep contrast in and move spine away from gallbladder
• Where is the gallbladder in an asthenic patient? -✓✓ Gallbladder near spine and
low
• Where is the gallbladder in an hypersthenic patient? -✓✓ Gallbladder up and near
diaphragm, transverse
• Chest pathologies -✓✓ Aspiration, atelectasis, bronchiectasis, bronchitis, COPD,
emphysema, metastases, plural effusion, pneumothorax, primary & secondary
tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis
• Aspiration -✓✓ Something stuck in the throat. Decrease technical factors due to
soft tissue
,• Atelectasis -✓✓ Collapsed lung, partial or whole
-increase technique: absence of air
• Bronchiectasis -✓✓ Dense fluid in bronchiole in lower respiratory system
-Patient. Can cough it out on trendelenburg; no technique change
-same as Bronchitis
• COPD -✓✓ Culmination of 2 disease or more: lower technique due to air trapped
in lungs
• Emphysema -✓✓ Ruptured alveoli that has air stuck in them are dense and black:
lower technique
• Bulla -✓✓ Group of ruptured aveoli
• Metastases -✓✓ Secondary cancer spread from primary source.
-can be Osterlytic or additive: type unknown until X ray done
• Osterlytic -✓✓ Destructive: increase technique
• Osteoblastic -✓✓ Additive: decrease technique
• Plural effusion -✓✓ Fluid in the pleural cavity: increase technique
, • Pneumothorax -✓✓ Air in pleural cavity: decrease technique
• Secondary tuberculosis -✓✓ TB in the upper lungs: decrease technique: additive
• Which position should the patient be in order to view secondary tuberculosis? -
✓✓ AP lordotic or lindblome
• Cystic Fibrosis -✓✓ Common inherited desease in which heavy mucus
secreations cause clogging of bronchi and bronchioles. Additive condition:
increase technique
• Upper GI pathologies -✓✓ achalasia, Barrett's esophagus, Zenker's diverticulum,
and hiatal hernia,
• achalasia -✓✓ disease of the esophageal sphincter, a neurological motor disorder
of nerves in the esophagus, food gets stuck
-"rat tail"
• Barrett's esophagus -✓✓ esophageal lining changes to smooth muscle and
narrows, results of having GERD for a long time, can develop into esophageal
cancer
• Zenker's diverticulum -✓✓ outpouching of the esophageal walls just above the
esophageal sphincter. Caused by weakening of the muscle wall
• hiatal hernia -✓✓ gastric bubble of protruding aspect of stomach. Can be small or
large, produces Schatzki's ring
