QUESTIONS FULL SOLUTION PREMIUM
STUDY MATERIAL
●● Radiographic Image
Answer: (manipulate) images that comes up on the workstation screen
after taking an image.
●● Image Receptor (IR)
Answer: The device that receives the energy of the x-ray beam and
forms the image of the body part/ what the body parts are close to for the
images
●● Projection
Answer: term that describes the direction or path of the central ray (CR)
of the x-ray beam
●● Central Ray (CR)
Answer: Center-most portion of the x-ray beam emitted from the x-ray
tube
●● Computed Radiography (CR)
,Answer: Cassette-based digital radiography; the digital acquisition
modality that uses storage phosphor plates to produce images
●● Oblique Position
Answer: Radiographic position in which the body or part is rotated at an
angle
●● What are the different oblique positions?
Answer: LAO-Left Anterior Oblique
RAO-Right Anterior Oblique
LPO-Left Posterior Oblique
RPO- Right Posterior Oblique
●● How do you know if the position is right or left?
Answer: Which ever side is touching the imaging receptor (IR)
●● Projection Vs Position
Answer: Projection- where the x-ray beam enters and exits from
Position- relevant to where they are places on the imaging receptor (IR)
●● AP projection
Answer: CR enters the anterior surface and exits the posterior
, ●● PA Projection
Answer: Central ray enters the posterior body surface and exits the
anterior body surface
●● Lateral Projection
Answer: CR enters one side of the body, passing transversely along the
coronal plane
●● Tangential Projection
Answer: touching a curve or surface at only one point
●● Axial Projection
Answer: Any angle of the CR of 10 degrees or more along the long axis
of the body or body part
●● Recumbent Position
Answer: lying down in any position
●● Supine Position
Answer: Lying on back facing upward
●● Prone Position
Answer: lying on abdomen, facing downward
