Q

Lateral to the neck is a tubercle which articulates with

A

transverse process of tspine vertebrae

30
Q

The vertebral end of a rib is how much higher than the sternal end

A

3-5”

31
Q

Lower inside margin is called

A

costal groove

32
Q

What does the costal groove of rib protect

A

an artery, a vein, and a nerve

33
Q

What can rib injuries be associated with

A

heavy hemorrhaging

34
Q

What does the 1st ribs look like

A

short, broad, and most vertical

35
Q

Ribs get longer with what ribs

A

down to the 7th rib

36
Q

What does the ribs 8-12 look like

A

significantly shorter

37
Q

Bony thorax is widest at lateral margins of what ribs

A

8-9th

38
Q

Degree of obliquity required to get a good pic of sternum depends on size of the thoracic cavity:

A

small chest- 20 degrees

large chest- 15 degrees

39
Q

What KVP is best to get good contrast of sternum

A

75 KVP

40
Q

A breathing technique is used to get a good sternum because

A

it blurs out lungs/ribs

41
Q

Sternum SID

A

40”

42
Q

Why is it not recommended to do a sternum at a lower SID

A

gives a lot more dose

43
Q

Why would a tech “want” to have a smaller SID

A

it magnifies the sternum

44
Q

Rib pictures above the diaphragm- breathing instructions

A

inspiration

45
Q

why do you take the above diaphragm on inspiration

A

brings diaphragm down so you can see the difference between lung & bone

46
Q

Why do you want a low KVP on ribs

A

they are small and a large KVP would grey them out

47
Q

When should you go to a higher KVP range if the injury is over the heart

A

To penetrate the ribs over the heart

48
Q

Why would you do lower ribs below diaphragm at the upright bucky

A

because it hurts to lie on the table and you can take a bigger breath upright, gravity brings abdomen down

49
Q

why would a tech want to take lower ribs on the table

A

it spreads out the abdomen

50
Q

What is the breathing instructions on lower ribs

A

expiration

51
Q

What is always taken for rib xrays and why

A

chest, check for perforation of lungs

52
Q

3 steps for ribs

A

1- side that hurts against bucky
2- move spine away from pain
3- CR on side xray is being done on

53
Q

kvp for lower oblique ribs

A

75-85 KVP

54
Q

kvp for upper oblique ribs

A

65-75 KVP

55
Q

PA oblique patient position

A

affected side away from IR

56
Q

AP oblique patient position

A

affected side close to IR

57
Q

AP ribs lower sees what ribs

A

8-12

58
Q

AP/PA ribs upper sees what ribs

A

1-10

59
Q

RAO/LAO sternoclavicular joints show

A

joint space closest to IR

60
Q

What position are patients in for sternoclavicular AP or PA

A

PA

61
Q

What breathing instructions for sternclavicular joints

A

expiration

62
Q

Lateral sternum is at what SID

A

72”

63
Q

Fracture of adjacent ribs in two or more places is caused by blunt trauma and is associated with underlying pulmonary injury

A

flail chest

64
Q

congenital defect is characterized by anterior protrusion of the lower sternum and xiphoid process.

A

pectus carinatrum (pigeon breast)

65
Q

localized or generalized infection of bone and marrow can be associated with postoperative complications of open heart surgery, which requires the sternum to be split.

A

osteomyelitis

66
Q

also known as funnel chest, this deformity is characterized by a depressed sternum.

A

pectus excavatum

67
Q

Joint between the costocartilage and the sternal end

A

Costochondral union or junction

68
Q

Cartilage of rib attached to the manubrium

A

Sternocostal joint

69
Q

Clavicle and sternum meet at

A

Sternoclavicular joint

70
Q

Costal cartilage and anterior 6th-9th ribs

A

Interchondral joints

71
Q

What ribs are found with constotransverse joints
