Question 1: type of movement for 8th interchondral joint

Answer:

Plane (gliding) - diarthodial Question 2: Which one of the following conditions may require a chest routine be included along with a study of the ribs?

Answer:

Hemothorax

Question 3: type of movement for 1st sternocostal joint

Answer:

immovable- synarthrodial Question 4: Approximately how much difference in height is there between these two ends of the ribs?

Answer:

• to 5 inches (7.5 to 12.5 cm)

Question 5: Where is the CR centered for an AP projection of the ribs for an injury located above the diaphragm?

Answer:

• to 4 inches (8 to 10cm) below the jugular notch, level of T7

Question 6: what movement type is 1st through 12th costoverebral joints

Answer:

movable - diarthrodial (plane or gliding) Question 7: Which two specific oblique positions can be used to elongate the left axillary portion of the ribs?

Answer:

RAO or LPO elongates the left axillary ribs (and shifts the spine away from the injury site)

Question 8: Oblique sternum

Answer:

anatomy demonstrated: all pertinent anatomic structures included

part positioning: sternum is over-rotated; sternum away from the spine and rotated beyond heart shadow and distorted Question 9: Which two basic projections or positions should be performed for an injury to the right anterior ribs?

Answer:

PA and LAO (to elongate the right axillary rib region) Question 10: True/False: It is virtually impossible to visualize the sternum with a direct PA or anteroposterior (AP) projection.

Answer:

True Question 11: What other position can be used for the sternum if the patient cannot assume the recumbent RAO position?

Answer:

LPO

Question 12: List the two factors to be considered when determining which specific projections to include in the rib routine.

Answer:

patient clinical history department protocol Question 13: Bilateral ribs above diaphragm:

Answer:

anatomy demonstrated: 9th through 10th ribs are cut off at left lateral margin

part positioning: tilt of body toward projected ribs nos. 9 to 10 below collimation field Question 14: What criteria apply to a radiograph for an evaluation of the oblique sternum?

Answer:

the entire sternum should lie over the heart shadow adjacent to the spine.Question 15: How many degrees of rotation are required for an oblique projection of the axillary ribs?

Answer:

45 degrees Question 16: what movement type is 6th through 9th interchodral joints (between anterior 6th and 9th costal cartilage)

Answer:

movable -diarthrodial (plane or gliding)

Question 17: What distinguishes a true rib form a false rib?

Answer:

A true rib attaches directly to the sternum with its own costicartilag.Question 18: Which of the following structures is (are) found in the costal groove of each rib?

Answer:

nerve, artery, vein

Question 19: How much rotation should be used for the oblique position of a sternum for a large, "deep-chested" patient?

Answer:

Approximately 15 degrees Question 20: What range of kV for analog imaging should be used for ribs above the diaphragm?

Answer:

65 to 75 kV range analog 75 to 85 kV range digital Question 21: True/False: An RAO of the SC joints projects the left joints closest to the spine

Answer:

true Question 22: Which radiograph sign can be evaluated to determine whether rotation is present on a PA projection of the sternoclavcular joint?

Answer:

by equal distance of sternoclavicular joints from vertebral column on both sides Question 23: Where is the CR centered for an AP projection of the ribs below the diaphragm?

Answer:

to level of xiphoid process Question 24: what movement type is 1st through 10th costochaondral unions (between costicartilage and ribs)

Answer:

immovable - synarthrodial Question 25: Which end of the ribs is most superior- the posterior vertebral ends or the anterior stenal ends?

Answer:

Posterior vertebral ends
