B. Patient dose
C. Primary radiation
D. Scatter radiation - Correct Answers -
How does the ARRT define trauma? - Correct Answers -A serious injury or shock to the
body, often requiring modifications that may include variations in positioning, minimal
movement to the body part, etc.
Define dislocation: - Correct Answers -displacement of a bone that is no longer in
contact with its normal articulation
Subluxation - Correct Answers -partial dislocation
What is another term for the tail of the breast?
A. Caudal portion
B. Areola
C. Axillary prolongation
D. Axilla - Correct Answers -C. Axillary prolongation
Which region of the spine is scanned during a DXA procedure?
A. C7-T-5
B. Sacroiliac joints
C. T-12 to the iliac crest
D. T1 to T-12 - Correct Answers -C. T-12 to the iliac crest
What is the name of the tapered, terminal part of the spinal cord?
A. Medulla spinalis
B. Encephalon
C. Axon
D. Conus medullaris - Correct Answers -D. Conus medullaris
Sprain - Correct Answers -forced wrenching or twisting of a joint resulting in a partial
rupture or tearing of supporting ligaments without dislocation
,Contusion - Correct Answers -bruise like injury
Fracture - Correct Answers -Disruption of bone caused bye mechanical force applied
either directly to the bone or transmitted along the shaft of the bone
What is apposition? - Correct Answers -how the fragmented ends of the bone make
contact with each other.
Anatomic apposition - Correct Answers -Ends of the fragments make an end-to-end
contact.
Lack of apposition - Correct Answers -the ends of fragments are aligned but pulled
apart and are not making contact with each other
Bayonet apposition - Correct Answers -the fracture fragments overlap and the shafts
make contact, but not at the fracture ends
Apex angulation - Correct Answers -describes the direction or angle of the apex of the
fracture
Varus deformity - Correct Answers -the distal fragment ends are angled toward the
midline of the body and results in a lateral apex that points away from the midline
valgus angulation - Correct Answers -Distal fragment ends are angled away from the
midline and the apex is pointed toward the midline
simple(closed) fracture - Correct Answers -bone does not break through the skin
Compound(open) fracture - Correct Answers -bone (usually the fragmented end)
protrudes through the skin
Incomplete (partial) fracture - Correct Answers -Bone is not broken into two places;
most common in children
Torus Fracture (buckle fracture) - Correct Answers -Buckle of cortex, little or no
displacement, no complete break in the cortex
Greenstick fx - Correct Answers -fracture is on one side of the bone only
Complete fracture - Correct Answers -Bone is broken into 2 pieces
transverse fx - Correct Answers -Fracture is transverse at a near right angle to the long
axis of the bone
, oblique fracture - Correct Answers -Fracture passes through the bone at an oblique
angle
Spiral fx - Correct Answers -bone has been twisted apart and the fracture spirals around
the long axis
comminuted fracture - Correct Answers -the bone is splintered or crushed at the sire of
impact, resulting in 2 or more fragments
Impacted fracture - Correct Answers -fracture in which one bone fragment is pushed
into another; usually occurs distal or proximal ends of the femur, humerus, or radius
Barton fracture - Correct Answers -intra-articular distal radius fracture with dislocation or
subluxation of the radoiocarpal joint
Baseball(mallet) fx - Correct Answers -caused by a ball striking the end of an extended
finger
Bennet fracture - Correct Answers -Fracture at base of first metacarpal
Boxer fracture - Correct Answers -Fracture of distal 5th metacarpal
Colles fracture - Correct Answers -distal radius is fractured with the distal fragment
displaced posteriorly, may result from a forward fall on an outstretched hand
Hangman's fracture - Correct Answers -fx occurs through the pedicles of the axis (C2),
with or without displacement of C2 or C3
avulsion fracture - Correct Answers -a fragment of bone is separated or pulled away by
the attached tendon or ligament
Closed reduction - Correct Answers -realignment by manipulation and are immobilized
by a cast or splint
Open reduction - Correct Answers -For severe fractures with significant displacement or
fragmentation, a surgical procedure is required.
What modality is used for imaging emergency conditions of the female reproductive
system? - Correct Answers -Sonography
What modality is used for the evaluation of specific emergency conditions, such as
pulmonary embolus, testicular torsion, and GI bleeds? - Correct Answers -Nuclear
medicine
What does a CST(certified surgical technologist) do? - Correct Answers -Prepared the
OR by supplying it with the appropriate supplies and instruments
