The left side of the body is turned 45 degrees toward the IR. What is this position? - ANSWER Left posterior oblique (LPO) The patient is erect with the right side of the body against the IR.

The right side of their body is turned 20 degrees toward the IR. What is this radiographic position? - ANSWER Right posterior oblique (RPO) How many separate bones are found in the adult human body? - ANSWER 206 Which system of the human body is responsible for the elimination of solid waste? - ANSWER Digestive A patient is lying on their left side facing the IR. The x-ray tube is directed horizontally with the CR entering the posterior aspect of the body. What is this radiographic position? - ANSWER Left lateral decubitus The patient is erect with their left side directly against the IR. The CR enters the right side of the body. What is this radiographic position? - ANSWER Left lateral T/F According to your text and lecture radiographic view is not a valid positioning term in the United States - ANSWER True The radiographic term "projection" is defined as: - ANSWER Path or direction of the CR T/F A person’s body habits represents a specific type of projection - ANSWER False, body type Movement of an arm or leg toward the midline - ANSWER Adduction An inward stress movement of the foot - ANSWER Inversion Near the source or the beginning - ANSWER Proximal A CR angle directed towards the feet - ANSWER Caudal Increasing the angle of a joint - ANSWER Extension Movement of arm or leg away from the midline - ANSWER Abduction
