Diagnostic IA test

Proximal means:

Closest to the point of origin

Lying down in any position

Away from the midline of the body

Perpendicular to the horizon

What is the main function of a grid in radiography?

It reduces the amount of scatter radiation produced

It keeps harmful parts of the primary beam from exposing the patient to dangerous radiation

It absorbs some scattered radiation before it reaches the IR

It produces a much lower contrast image

What do the following terms have in common: sagittal, coronal, transverse?

All describe positions of the body

All are imaginary lines that intersect the human body

All are imaginary planes that intersect the human body

These terms are completely unrelated

Shield

Receptor photo plate

Which plane divides the body into anterior and posterior halves?

Transverse plane

Oblique plane

Coronal plane

Sagittal plane

Fingers

Elbow

Forearm

Wrist

Anatomical Position is when the body is erect, with arms by the sides and pointing palms out.

True

False

The farther away a part is from the IR the less magnification is demonstrated.

True

False

Image analysis is a systemic approach to evaluating positioning and technical accuracy.

True

False

Radiopaque matter will always appear dark on a radiograph.

True

False

An undesirable structure or substance on a recorded image is only considered to be an artifact if it is covering an area of interest on the radiograph.

True

False

Radiation projection practices are important to prevent radiation-induced nonstochastic effects.

True
