70
Q

SID for Chest Xray?

A

72”

71
Q

Which projection is prefered for chest xray and why?

A

PA b/c less magnification of the heart

72
Q

Why is a chest xray prefered to be done on a patient who is erect?

A
  • maxium lung capacity
  • air/fluid levels
  • diaphragm is down
  • prevent engorgement of great vessels
73
Q

Chest Decub:

A

  2. If that position doesn’t work what else could the radiographer try?
A
  1. Lorodotic
  2. AP Axial projection
75
Q

Breathing for chest x-ray and why

A

double inspiration because more air is inhaled on the second breath and with greater ease

A

Right lung has 3
Left lung has 2 (b/c of heart)

77
Q

Why are inspiration/expiration chests performed?
