False - CORRECT ANSWER-True/Fasle: It is possible to shield females for an
AP projection of the sacrum or coccyx if the gonadal shields are correctly placed.
False - CORRECT ANSWER-True/False: The female gonadal dose is
approximately that of the midline dose & is almost the same for either AP or PA
projection of the L-spine.

ANSWER-Why should the knees & hips be flexed for an AP projection of the
L-spine?
False - CORRECT ANSWER-True/False: A lead blocker mat for lateral positions
of the L-spine should NOT be used w/ digital imaging.
True - CORRECT ANSWER-True/False: The efficiency of CT & MRI of the spine
is reducing the number of boring myelograms being performed.
