recumbent
A recumbent oblique position in which the patient is lying on the left anterior side
rotated anteriorly, with the right knee and thigh flexed is termed:
Sims
,A patient is lying on her back facing the x-ray tube. The right side of her body is
turned 20 degrees toward the image receptor. What is this radiographic position?
RPO
What type of projection is created with the CR directed along the long axis of the
body?
Axial
A projection in which the CR skims a body part is termed:
Tangential
What is the general term for a position in which the long axis of the body is
angled in relationship to the image receptor rather than the central ray?
Lordotic
A dorsoplantar projection would be a radiographic study of:
Foot
Moving the foot and toes downward is:
plantar flexion
Movement in the form of a circle is the definition for:
Circumduction
The radiographic term projection is defined as:
path or direction of the central ray

True
The reproductive organs and urinary bladder lie in the pelvic cavity.
True
A patient comes to radiology with a clinical history of pneumoperitoneum. The
patient is able to stand and lie recumbent. Which one of the following projections
will best demonstrate the severity of this condition?
