CAMRT - Test Review Questions and
Solutions 2024
When preparing to add antiseptic iodine to a sterile field, why must some of
the liquid be poured into the sink before adding the remainder to the sterile
container? - -To wash the container's lip to prevent contamination, this
maintains the sterile field
-Why is there a maximum injection pressure for an automatic injection
device during contrast media administration? - -A preset maximum injection
pressure helps to prevent vessel damage
-1. The QC tech performs testing after the image acquired in the past week
demonstrates exposure inconsistencies. Which kVp accuracy test reading at
80 kVp would require corrective action?
a. 70
b. 72
c. 74
d. 76 - -a. 70
- this is greater than the acceptable limit of 10%
-A football player with broad shoulders presents with an obvious separation
of the AC joint. What upright bilateral AC joints projection should be taken to
best demonstrate the condition? - -- With weights at 180 cm
- longer SID reduces magnification
-What area of the gown is considered part of the sterile field? - -The front of
the gown, waist to shoulder
-What test must be performed first to ensure the validity of a mA linearity
test results? - -- Timer accuracy
- mA linearity assures that mA stations are accurate. The time and kVp
accuracy must be verified prior to evaluate mA linearity
-What demonstrates minimal foreshortening of the femoral neck on on an
axiolateral hip images? - -- The greater and lesser trochanters are on the
same transverse level
- this will verify that the CR is perpendicular to the femoral neck and the IR is
parallel to the femoral neck
-What is the clinical indication for an HSG? - -- Infertility assessment
- a Hysterosalpingiogram is used for infertility to demonstrate patency of
uterine tubes
, -Mr. Rogers presents with fixation devices protruding from the inferior
aspect of his heel. The foot is flexed 70 degree. Calcaneus images have been
ordered. How should the tech. direct the CR for the axial projection? - -- 60
degree cephalad
- must increase the angle by 20 degree (40 + 20) to compensate for lesser
dorsiflexion of the foot
-What will best demonstrate any medial or lateral displacement of a fracture
of the ramus of the mandible? - -Axial AP (Towne)
-Which projection would demonstrate air/fluid levels in the abdomen on an
ICU patient who must remain supine? - -- Dorsal decubitus
- this is correct based on the patient's condition; the horizontal beam will
show air/fluid levels
-NICU CXR, what can be used to determine if rotation is present? - -
Foreshortening of the clavicle on the side that the baby is rotated towards
-What are the most appropriate infection control measures for a patient with
MRSA? - -- Gloves and gown
- keeping any linen used in the patients room
- gowns and gloves are only required because MRSA is transmitted by direct
contact
-What should be done when inserting the rectal tip? - -- Ask the patient to
take slow, deep breaths and insert the tip during exhalation
- Exhalation promotes muscle relaxation, ensuring that the tip is easier to
insert
-A patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma arrives for a follow up ct chest
scan. What precautions should the technologist use? - -Protective
precautions are employed to reduce the spread of infection to immueno
compromised patients
-Which projection will best demonstrate the left axillary rib free of
superimposition? - -Left posterior (ap) oblique
-Mr Toms, 47 years old, presents for a ct abdomen and pelvis scan with
lower abdominal pain. On the images, the tech notices thickening of the
bladder wall. Which condition should the tech suspect? - -Bladder carcinoma
-What action by the tech would be considered a breach of a patient's right to
confidentiality? - -Discussing the exam findings with the patients spouse
-How does neutral rotation of the shoulder appear on an image? - -- Greater
tubercle partly superimposed over the humeral head
