Q

Where do you center for a lateral CXR?

A

MSP parallel, MCP perpendicular, T7

16
Q

Which plane is perpendicular to the IR for a PA CXR

A

MSP

17
Q

Which plane is perpendicular to the IR for a lateral CXR?

A

MCP

18
Q

When performing an AP CXR with the patient on a stretcher/bed, which direction is the CR generally angled and why?

A

Towards the feet to keep clavicles level

19
Q

Why is a left lateral CXR always preferred?

A

Better anatomical detail of heart

20
Q

What are the patient breathing instructions for CXR?

A

2 full inspirations

21
Q

How many posterior ribs should be seen on a PA CXR?

A

10 pairs

22
Q

What SID is ideally used for a CXR?

A

72”

23
Q

What kVp range would be typical for a CXR routine?

A

100-125 kVp

24
Q

When positioning the patient for a PA CXR how do you ensure the scapulae are out of the lung field?

A

Depress shoulders, roll shoulders forward

25
Q

How can you tell if there is rotation on a PA CXR? 2 examples

A

Equal SC joints, equidistant spine to lateral border of ribs

26
Q

How can you tell if there is rotation on a lateral CXR?

A

Posterior ribs are not superimposed

27
Q

At what level is the iliac crest?

A

L4 spinous process

28
Q

What lies within the mediastinum?

A

Thymus gland, trachea, esophagus, lymph nodes, thoracic duct, heart, great vessels, nerves

29
Q

Why should a CXR be performed upright if at all possible?

A
  1. it prevents engorgement of the pulmonary vessels
  2. Gravity helps diaphragm reach its lowest position
  3. Air/fluid levels
30
Q

Describe low contrast. Is there a long or short scale of contrast?

A

There is a long scale of contrast, with a smaller range of tones.

31
Q

Describe high contrast. Is there a long or short scale of contrast?

A

There is short scale with a higher range of tones.
