where do you center the beam for a view of the patients scapula
center it on the middle of the scapula, shoulder
if you are taking a view of the patients carpus and the DVM says he wants a DP view, how will you position the patient
in sternal recumbency, with the paw flat
if a pt has been HBC and there is a suspected fracture of the thoracic vertebrae, what view do you think the DVM is going to ask you to obtain
Right lateral C1-S1
for a thoracolumbar view, you measure
the highest point of the ribs
when radiographing the shoulder, what are the borders you must include
prox. 3rd of the humerus, distal 3rd of the scapula
all aspects of the shoulder joint
If you are taking an oblique view of the patient’s ulna, what does that mean?
the “wrist” is rotated 45 degrees, medially or laterally
when taking a lateral view of the femur, what must we include
the joint above and below the femur
Base of the skull to the shoulder joint, with tight collimation laterally (just past the shoulder joint (about T1-T2) to include the cervical vertebrae) are the borders for the
VD cervical vertebrae
if you are taking a hyperflexed view of the elbow, what does that mean
the limb will be pulled as far caudally as possible
for the ventrodorsal view of the lumbosacral vertebrae, measure at the
wings of the ilia
when centering for the lateral view of the humerus, center the beam
at the center of the humerus
When centering the Ventrodorsal Open-Mouth (Rostroventral–Caudodorsal Oblique (R20-30V-CdDO) Open-Mouth) View center on the ___________—at the back of the palate about the level of the third premolar. Angle the x-ray tube rostrocaudally 20 to 30 degrees.
nasal cavity

lumbar
The distal third of the scapula through the proximal third of the humerus are the borders of the lateral view of the
shoulder
Because the ____ tympanic bullae are positioned anatomically more caudally than in a dog, keep the cat’s mouth closed to view the tympanic bullae and odontoid process.
cat
