False (the sleeves of gowns are considered to be sterile from the cuff to the elbow
True or false. Lifting sterile drapes on a table above table level compromises the sterile field
True
True or false. The rad tech should place sterile drapes over both ends of the C-arm before entering the OR
False (the C-arm should be convered with sterile drapes only after it is inside an OR.)
True or false. when a mobile x-ray unit becomes contaminated, it should never be cleaned while still inside the OR
False (cleaning within the OR helps reduce the posibility of cross contamination

-placing the tube side of the C-arm above the patient
True or false. the rad tech should be the person who places sterile drapes over both ends of the C-arm
False (only a member of the sterile team can touch sterile supplies; the rad tech is not a member of the sterile team
list the reasons operative cholangiography is performed:
a-To investigate the patency of the bile ducts and the functional status of the sphineter of the hepatopancreastic palpation
b-to reveal [cho coi, to ra] the presence of calcuti that cannot be detected by papation
c-to demonstrate such conditions as small intraluminal neoplasms and stricture or dilation of the ducts
For the PA projection of the c-spine ACDF surgical procedure, the C-arm should be:

True or false. When lining up the screw holes in the nail during a retrograde femoral nailing procedure, the hole should be imaged perfectly round and centered on the monitor.
True
During a femoral nailing procedure, which surgical team member may manipulate the patient’s leg to align the screw holes in the C-arm image?
The surgeon
True or false. When positioning the C-arm for imaging a tibial nail insertion, the C-arm should be tilted to match the angle of the affected leg.
True
True or false. When positioining the C-arm for use during a transphenoidal resection of a pituitray tumor, the C-arm should be positioned for a lateral image
True
True or false. The femur and the tibia should be seen in the image after the subtraction technique is performed during temoral and tibial arteriography
False (the tibia and the femur should not be seen after substraction is performed
True or false. When performing a radiograph of an extremity during surgical procedures to install reduction hardware, the rad tech should remove sterile draping from the affected extremity to ensure proper centering
False (the rad tech should never touch sterile draping overlying the surgical area
Strike-through refers to:
-Mosture from a nonsterile surface soaking through to a sterile surface, causing bacteria to reach a sterile area
