Ultrasound
Nuclear medicine
Arthrography is defined as radiography of:
Bones

Ligaments
Which joint is most frequently examined with arthrography?
Knee
Shoulder

Which pathology is best evaluated with shoulder arthrography?
Rotator cuff tear
Osteoporosis
Fracture
Osteoarthritis
Post-procedure instruction after shoulder arthrogram commonly includes:
Immediate heavy lifting allowed
No activity restrictions
No physical activity for 24 hours and ice as needed
Bedrest 24 hours
Typical shoulder arthrogram needle placement is:
2 cm medial to AC joint
1 cm inferior and lateral to coracoid process
1 cm superior to coracoid
Over bicipital groove
Post-myelography recovery instructions include: (Select all that apply)
Elevate head/shoulders 30–45°

Orthoroentgenography
Scanography
Teleoroentgenography
Tomography
Which modality yields the lowest radiation dose for long bone measurement?
Conventional radiography
Microdose digital radiography
CT
Teleroentgenogram
Radiation protection for pediatric long bone measurement includes:
A. Gonadal shielding
B. Immobilization
C. Accurate centering
D. No collimation
Which sequence is correct for upright stitched DR exposures?
Knee → ankle → hip
Hip → knee → ankle
Ankle → hip → knee
Random order
Evaluation criteria for stitched long bone measurement include: (Select all that apply)
Side marker clear of anatomy
Image of special ruler
Hip, knee, ankle anatomy included
Visualizing iliac crest
CT scanogram advantages include: (Select all that apply)
Lower radiation dose
Consistent reproducibility
Comparable cost
No need for cursor placement
List the specialized exams used for long bone measurement:
Scanogram
Teleroetgenogram
Upright stitched DR
Orthoroentgenogram
MRI accuracy for long bone measurement is approximately:
70%
80%
99%
50%
A CT scanogram advantage over conventional radiographs is that it is:
Less reproducible
More operator dependent
More consistently reproduced with less radiation
Not suitable for children
In orthoroentgenography, consistent knee flexion matters because:
It reduces soft-tissue blur only
It standardizes femoral/tibial length projection for accuracy
It lowers dose dramatically
It eliminates the need for a ruler
