2nd activity- abdomen

How can the radiographer minimize motion artifacts during abdominal X-ray?

• Suspend breathing during expiration

• Suspend breathing during inspiration

• Hold patient during exposure

• give anesthesia to reduce motion

When the patient can’t be in AP erect what other alternative position can be used ?

• Lateral (R or L)

• Lateral projection (R or L dorsal decubitus)

• AP supine

AP projection is done when kidneys are not in the area of interest.

• True

• False

In AP oblique projection the kidney closet to the IR is _____ and the kidney farthest is _____ to the IR.

• perpendicular, perpendicular

• perpendicular, parallel

• parallel, parallel

• parallel, prependicular

In AP oblique projection the midcoronal plane forms an angle of 45 degrees from the plane of the IR.

• True

• False

Landmark of inferior costal margin.

• L1-L2

• L2-L3

• L3-L4

• L4-L5

The center ray of AP abdomen supine is L4

• True

• False

To see the air-fluid level we do AP erect and Lateral Decubitus

• True

• False

In KUB examination we use low mA and a high exposure time

• True

• False

The left posterior oblique projection shows the

• left kidney in profile and the right kidney en face.

• left kidney in profile and the left kidney en face.

• right kidney in profile and the left kidney en face.

• right kidney in profile and the right kidney en face
