M/C: Which of the following are true for an AP coccyx projection?
1. 15 degree cephalic angle.
2. 10 degree caudal angle
3. center 2 inches superior to the pubic symphysis: 2 and 3
What term describes the FUNCTIONAL portion of the kidney?: Nephron
• What is the source of x-radiation in the x-ray tube?: focal spot
• M/C: Ingesting barium sulfate and having multiple KUB radiographs per-formed at 15
and 30 minute intervals is used to visualize
1. Duodenum
2. Ileocecal Valve
3. Splenic Flexure
4. Plyoric Sphincter: 1 and 2
• A patient suffering from a hypoglycemic reaction should be given:: a bolusof sugar
,• Which bony landmark lies directly medial to the greater trochanter?: PubicSymphysis
• High-velocity electrons (e-) that completely avoid the orbital electrons asthey pass
through a tungsten atom, yet come close enough to the nucleus ofthe atom to come under the
influence of its positively charged electric field (P+), will produce what type of X-rays?
A.) Characteristic x-raysB.) Compton X-rays
C.) Bremsstrahlung X-rays
D. ) Thompson X-rays: (C) Bremsstrahlung X-rays
Explanation:
Bremsstrahlung literally means "braking." When a high-velocity electron passes through a
tungsten atom, avoiding the electrons, yet coming close enough to the nucleus to be affected by
the positively charged electric field of the nucleus, the changeof direction, or braking, causes a
release of x-rays known as Bremsstrahlung.
• What is the relationship of LET and biological damage?
A.) They increase in direct proportion.B.) They are inversely proportional.
C.) There is no relationship.
D.) There is a nonlinear non threshold relationship: (A) They increase in directproportion.
Explanation:
The LET refers to the linear energy transfer, the amount of energy transferred by ionizing
radiation per unit length of tissue traveled. LET is variable between radiationtypes. High-
ionization radiation, including neutrons and alpha particles, cause morebiological damage than
radiation with a lower LET, including x-rays and gamma rays.
• Which skull position is most useful to demonstrate the sphenoid sinuses?
A.) AP axialB.) Lateral
C.) ParietoacanthalD.) Caldwell
E.) Submentovertical: (E) Submentovertical
Explanation:
The submentovertical projection is used to demonstrate the cranial base for the basal
foramina, the bony portion of the Eustachian tubes, and the sphenoid sinuses.The study is
performed with the patient's head resting on the vertex. The CR is perpendicular to the IOML.
The AP axial and PA axial or Caldwell view is used to demonstrate the occipital region of the
skull and can be used to evaluate the sellarregion. The parietoacanthal projection demonstrates
the facial bones. The lateral projection is part of the routine skull series.
Which drug would you administer when a patient develops urticaria?: Antihistamine

degree cephalic angle
• During a fluoro exposure, a patient's stomach absorbs a total of 0.012 joules of energy. The
tissues of the stomach weigh 3 kilograms. What is the absorbeddose?: 0.004 Gy
• Genetic effects are those that manifest:: in future generations of the exposedindividual
• General Fluoro is limited to maximum entrance skin exposure rate of:: 100mGy/min

• Which device in an image receptor can collect and convert light into anelectrical signal?:
CCD, Photodiode
• if a patient begins to have symptoms of hives after an injection of contrastfor an IVP, what
should be done first?: call a radiologist

• Inherent filtration refers to:: filtration that is part of tube design
• What effect will decreasing collimation have on patient radiation exposure-
: increases patient radiation exposure
• The severity of the hell effect can be increased by what change in SID?: -
decreasing sid
