Q

Case of child to see peritoneal free air:

A) Supine chest x ray
B) Lateral decubitus chest
C) Supine abdomen
D) Lateral decubitus abdomen

A

D) Left lateral decubitus abdomen.

Notes:
- The lateral decubitus radiograph is an additional projection for assessing the pediatric
abdomen. This view is ideal for displaying free air in the abdomen and/or if the patient is
unable to lie supine.
- Erect is more accurate.

Q

To visualize the colonic flexures during barium enema:
A) LAO and RAO
B) Lateral
C) Left lateral decubitus
D) Right lateral decubitus

A

A) LAO and RAO

Answer: A
Notes:
- RAO → Right hepatic flexure.
- LAO → Left splenic flexure.

17
Q

Best view for lipohemarthrosis:
A) Lateral
B) AP

A

A) Lateral

Answer: A
Notes:
- Lipohemarthrosis results from an intra-articular fracture with escape of fat and blood from the
bone marrow into the joint, and is most frequently seen in the knee, associated with a tibial
plateau fracture or distal femoral fracture, rarely a patellar fracture.

18
Q

Pediatric patient with foreign body, what to do:
A) AP
B) PA
C) Lateral
D) Bilateral decubitus

A

D) Bilateral decubitus

Answer: D
Notes:
- Bilateral lateral decubitus (can be done to increase sensitivity).
- Bilateral decubitus views should demonstrate hyperinflation of the affected lung on both
radiographs; in the obstructive foreign body there will be air-trapping and therefore
hyperlucency of the dependent lung.

19
Q

Regarding lines:

A) EET is 1 cm below carina. (above)
B) NGT in the lower esophagus. (stomach)
C) PICC insertion through brachiocephalic.
D) Swanz – Ganz 5 cm in pulmonary artery

A

D) Swanz – Ganz 5 cm in pulmonary artery

20
Q

Which of the following is correct regarding hip lines:
A) Shenton lines is seen along the superior border of superior pubic ramus
B) Higenreiner line is drown horizontally through the superior aspect of both triradiate cartilage.

A

B) Higenreiner line is drown horizontally through the superior aspect of both triradiate cartilage.

21
Q

Patient developed chest wheeze post-contrast, what is the immediate
medication to give:

A) Atropine
B) Albuterol
C) Epinephrine
D) Antihistamine

A

B) Albuterol

22
Q

What you will give for patient with renal insufficiency to prevent renal
nephrotoxicity:

A) CO2
B) Nitrogen
C) Low osmolar contrast medium

A

C) Low osmolar contrast medium

23

B) 5
C) 10
D) 50

A

D) 50

25
Q

Which is NOT Deterministic effect:

A) Skin erythema
B) Hair loss
C) Leukemia
D) Cataract

A

C) Leukemia

26
Q

The most common source of scatter is:
A) The table
B) The floor and walls
C) Patient’s body

A

C) Patient’s body

Answer: C
Notes:
- In the case of X-rays, the most common source of scatter radiation for most humans, the
“object” in question is the patient.

27
Q

Roentgen is:

A) Air exposure to radiation.
B) Soft tissue exposure to radiation

A

A) Air exposure to radiation.

28
Q

Best way to manage radiation exposure is by:
A) Increase shielding thickness
B) Decrease distance from radiation source

A

B) Decrease distance from radiation source

↓ time.
- ↑ distance and thickness of shielding.

29
Q

Dual filament is used to:
A) Increase the tube current
B) Increase the heat
C) Spare
D) Focal spot

A

D) Focal spot

Notes:
- A dual filament, rotary anode X-ray tube generates X-radiation of extraordinary uniform
