Unit 5 Radiology & Parasitology

What tools are commonly used for positioning the Radius & Ulna? (non-manual restraint)

• positioning plates, guaze ties, sand bags

• sand bags, soft velcro straps, foam blocks, tape

• Sandbags, v-troughs, soft velcro straps, compression bands, tape

• V-troughs, positioning blocks, gauze ties, sand bags

Why should positioning devices never be in the field of view?

• it causes underexposure and overexposure

• It may cause a blurry image in your radiograph

• it may cause image artifacts or affect exposure

• it may affect the contrast of your image

When radiographing, what are the routine views for the scapula?

• lateral and craniocaudal

• lateral and dorsopalmar

• lateromedial and craniocaudal

• craniocaudal and dorsopalmar

what are the routine views for the shoulder?

• lateromedial and craniocaudal

• lateral and dorsopalmar

• lateral and craniocaudal

• craniocaudal and dorsopalmar

Which positioning aid is most suitable for stabilizing the scapula during radiography?

• V-trough

• Foam wedge

• Sandbag

• Compression band

What is the primary reason for using foam blocks during limb radiography?

• To enhance image contrast

• To prevent patient movement

• To avoid superimposition of structures

• To reduce radiation exposure

Which of the following is NOT a routine view for the radius and ulna?

• Craniocaudal

• Lateromedial

• Dorsopalmar

• Lateral

Refers to front half of the patient, or the part seen when viewed from the front.

• Posterior

• Anterior

• Dorsal

• lateral

What is the routine view for the humerus?

• dorsopalmar, lateral

• right lateromedial

• Lateral, caudocranial

routine view for the elbow?

• mediolateral, caudocranial

• lateral, caudocranial

• dorsopalmar

• ventral dorsal
