Question 1: What are the breathing instructions when doing a CXR?

(Chest X-Ray)

Answer:

Have patient take in a deep breath and then let it out, then take one more deep breath in and hold it.

Question 2: How do you position patient for an AP Oblique (RPO, LPO)?

Answer:

Rotate pt 45º toward the correct side; Center IR ~2" above vertebral prominens; The arm closest to IR is raised, the other arm/hand is on hip; Sheild and Suspend breathing after 2nd deep breath in.

Question 3: Where is the Central Ray for PA Oblique (RAO & LAO)?

Answer:

CR is perpendicular to center of IR, at level of T-7. And the CR comes over the Elevated Side.

Question 4: Which lung is Longer?

Answer:

Left lung

Question 5: What are the Changing Instructions for Pt when doing a Chest X-Ray?

Answer:

Remove everything from the waist up, including bra, any jewelry, and dangling earrings; put on gown, and tie in the back.Question 6: What is the difference between the structures shown in an AP Chest, versus a PA Chest?

Answer:

In an AP, the heart is magnified, and the clavicles look more horizontal.Question 7: Why is it important for the pt to have the hands pronated and on hips, and to roll the shoulders forward, when preforming a PA Chest?

Answer:

These help to remove the scapulae from the lung fields.

Question 8: What are the Structures Shown in an AP (supine) Abdomen (K.U.B.)?

Answer:

Structures are:

Pubic Symphysis to Upper Abdomen, Sides of Abdomen, No Rotation, and you may see the diaphram and organs.Question 9: When doing an AP Oblique (RPO, LPO), where is the Side of Interest in relation to the IR?

Answer:

The Side of Interest is closer to the IR.Question 10: When would you rotate a pt a 55-60º when preforming an PA Oblique?

Answer:

when you are preforming a LAO for a Cardiac Studies (Examination of heart and great vessels).

Question 11: What views are done in an Abdominal Series?

Answer:

AP Abdomen, AP Upright Abdomen, Chest X-Ray

Question 12: When would an AP chest X-Ray be preformed?

Answer:

When the Patient is too ill to be moved PA.Question 13: Which PA oblique projection produces an image similar to that produced by the AP oblique projection, RPO position?

Answer:

PA Oblique, LAO

Question 14: Why are all Chest X-Rays preformed at 72"?

Answer:

This decreases magnification and produces better detail.

Question 15: What are the structures shown for Lateral Chest?

Answer:

Entire Lung field: (Left lat shows left lung & heart) (right lat shows right lung) superimposition of ribs behind spine, superimposition of costophrenic angles

Question 16: How do you position pt for PA Oblique, RAO?

Answer:

-IR is 1.5-2" above vertebral prominens; Rotate pt 45) so their right side touches the IR; Place right hand on hip, Left hand/arm is by shoulder height, resting on top of the bucky; shield and suspend respiration.

Question 17: Why are Abdomen views preformed on the Expiration?

Answer:

To avoid compression of organs by the diaphragm; when you exhale, the diaphragm rises, so its not sitting on the organs.

Question 18: Why is Barium sometimes used in Chest Radiography?

Answer:

Barium is used in Cardiac Studies, to outline the esophagus with bruin to better demonstrate the heart.

Question 19: What are the Structures shown in an AP Axial (Lordotic position)(Lindblom method) Chest?

Answer:

Clavicles lie superior to Apices, Ribs are distorted.No rotation of chest.

Question 20: What are the structures shown in a PA Oblique (RAO & LAO)?

Answer:

Both lungs visualized in both views, but:

RAO= Left Lung maximized, right lung foreshortened.LAO= Right Lung maximized, left lung foreshortened. (and spine is"in" left lung).Also see Heart and Mediastinal structures w/in lung field.

Question 21: Where is the CR located for AP Oblique (RPO, LPO)?

Answer:

CR is perpendicular to center of IR at the level of T-7/ 3" below jugular notch; CR comes down over elevated side.Question 22: Which Abdominal Projection will BEST Demonstrate an Aortic Aneurysm?

Answer:

Lateral Projection.

Question 23: How many lobes does each lung have?

Answer:

Right lung has 3 lobes.Left lung has 2 lobes.Question 24: What are the structures shown for an AP Oblique, (RPO, LPO) Projection?

Answer:

LPO= Left lung maximized, Right lung is foreshortened.RPO= Right lung maximized, Left lung is foreshortened.***AP Oblique is similar to the corresponding PA Oblique, meaning, RAO=LPO and LAO=RPO***
