Questions: Chest**** with Complete Solutions
Rotation into a LAO position A PA chest radiography reveals that the left sternoclavicular
joint is superimposed over the spine (in comparison with the right joint). What specific
positioning error is involved?
Raise upper limbs higher A lateral chest radiograph demonstrates the soft tissue of the
upper limbs is superimposed over the apices of the lungs. How can this situation be prevented?
Left lateral decubitus A patient enters the ER with an injury to the chest. The ER physician
suspects a pneumothorax may be present in the right lung. The patient is unable to stand or sit
erect. Which specific position or projection can be performed to confirm the presence of
pneumothorax?
left lateral decubitus A patient with a history of pulmonary edema comes to the radiology
department and is unable to stand. The physician suspects fluid in the left lung. Which specific
projection should be used to confirm the diagnosis?
,sternum, two clavicles, two scapulae, 12 pairs of ribs, and 12 thoracic vertebrae The bony
thorax consists of
Jugular notch (AP) & Vertebral Prominens (PA) 2 anatomical landmarks used for locating
the central ray (CR) for chest x-ray
pharynx, bronchi, trachea, lungs 4 divisions of respiratory system
nasopharynx, laryngopharynx, oropharynx 3 divisions of the structure located proximally
to the larynx that serve as a common passageway for both food and air
epiglottis structure that acts as a lid over the larynx to prevent foreign objects such as
food particles from entering the respiratory system
anteriorly the trachea is located_______ to the esophagus
hyoid the _______bone is seen in the anterior portion of the next and is found just below
the tongue or floor of the mouth
, right bronchus, because it is larger in diameter and more verticle If a person accidentally
inhales a food particle, which bronchus is it most likely to enter, and why?
T5 The carina (prominence or ridge) is located at the level of______ vertebrae
pleura delicate, double walled-sac or membrane containing the lungs i
parietal layer The outer layer of this membrane adhering to the inner surface of the chest
wall ad diaphragm is the _______
visceral or pulmonary layer the inner layer adhering to the surface of the lungs is the
_______ or ________
pleural cavity the potential space between the parietal and visceral layer is the ________
base lower, concave portion of the lung
