mean? - CORRECT ANSWER Too much obliquity
Remember: *PP - too much* (posterior pedicles)

as allowing nutrients and fluid to be instilled
Best location for a CVP (Central Venous Pressure) Line? - CORRECT ANSWER
Brachiocephalic vein or Superior Vena Cava
Where does a Swan-Ganz catheter sit? - CORRECT ANSWER The right side of the heart and
the arteries leading to the lungs
,What does a Swan-Ganz catheter measure? - CORRECT ANSWER The heart's function and
blood flow pressures in and around the heart
What are Plia circularis? - CORRECT ANSWER The numerous folds of the mucous membrane
of the small intestine
What are the instruments used for sensitometry? - CORRECT ANSWER - Sensitometer (step
wedge)
- Densitometer
How often is a sensitometry strip done? - CORRECT ANSWER Daily
What is demonstrated on a 15O degree occipitofrontal view of the sinuses? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Frontal sinuses
- Anterior ethmoidal air cells
- Sphenoid sinuses
Oblique fracture of the base of the first metacarpal? - CORRECT ANSWER Bennett's fracture
,An ankle fracture affecting one of the malleoli? - CORRECT ANSWER Pott's fracture
An ankle fracture affecting both of the malleoli? - CORRECT ANSWER Second degree Pott's
fracture (bi-malleolar fracture)
An ankle fracture affecting both of the malleoli and the posterior surface of the tib fractured as
well? - CORRECT ANSWER Third degree Pott's fracture (tri-malleolar fracture)
What is a Compound fracture? - CORRECT ANSWER When the bone has broken through the
skin
C-spine flexion / extension views assess what? - CORRECT ANSWER Anterior and posterior
movement or lack of movement due to an injury
What does ERCP stand for? - CORRECT ANSWER Endoscopic retrograde
cholangiopancreatography
What is an ERCP used for? - CORRECT ANSWER To investigate biliary tree, CBD, gallbladder
and pancreas
Ball catchers view is good to assess what? - CORRECT ANSWER Early stages of Rheumatoid
Arthritis
, Low blood pressure and dizziness due to standing up too quickly - CORRECT ANSWER
Orthostatic hypertension
What is Shenton's Line? - CORRECT ANSWER An imaginary curved line drawn along the
inferior border of the superior pubic ramus and along the inferomedial border of the neck of
femur
What is Shenton's Line used for? - CORRECT ANSWER To evaluate hip pathology
What body part perpendicular to the CR when doing an intercondylar fossa? - CORRECT
ANSWER Long axis of the lower leg (Tib / Fib)
What is the purpose of lateral bending for scoliosis? - CORRECT ANSWER To determine
structural change in early diagnosis
Optimal kVp for a chest? - CORRECT ANSWER 100 - 130 kVp
How should you adjust CR for a portable Chest X-Ray on a kyphotic patient? - CORRECT
ANSWER Angle less slightly or leave the tube perpendicular so clavicles will be 1" below apices
of lung
