A

the middle ear

19
Q

Where are the sensory apparatus of both equilibrium and hearing contained?

A

Internal ear

20
Q

Which cranial bone possesses the superior nasal conchae?

A

ethmoid bone

21
Q

Which cranial bone possesses the zygomatic process?

A

temporal bone

22
Q

Which three cranial bones articulate directly with the zygomatic bone?

A

Frontal, temporal, and sphenoid

23
Q

Which bones of the skull articulate with 5 cranial bones?

A

sphenoid bone

24
Q

How many skull bones are present in the human body?

A

22

25
Q

How is rotation evident on a lateral projection of the skull?

A

When bone structures appear anterior or posterior

26
Q

Where is the CR centered for a lateral projection of the cranium?

A

2 inches superior EAM

27
Q

What is the difference, in degrees, between the infraorbitomeatal and orbitomeatal lines?

A

7 degrees

28
Q

Which technical considerations is most critical for demonstrating air and/or fluid levels within the cranium?

A

Horizontal x-ray beam

29
Q

A radiograph of a lateral projection of the cranium reveals that the orbital roofs (plates) are not superimposed—one is slightly superior to the other. Which of the following positioning errors led to this radiographic outcome?

A

tilt

30
Q

A radiograph of a lateral cranium reveals that the mentum was cut off from the bottom of the radiograph. A 24 × 30-cm (10 × 12-inch) IR was used, and it was placed crosswise. What must be altered if a repeat exposure is performed?

A

IR must be placed lengthwise

31
Q

A patient comes to radiology for a routine study of the cranium. He is unable to flex his head and neck sufficiently to place the OML perpendicular to the IR for the AP axial projection. What should the technologist do to compensate for this problem without creating excessive magnification of the occipital bone?

A

Alignment must change from OML to IOML and EAM (IOML perpendicular to IR), while using a tube angle of 37 degrees caudal

32
Q

A patient comes to radiology with a possible bone cyst within the squamous portion of the frontal bone. Which projection(s) would best demonstrate this region with a minimal amount of distortion of the frontal bone?

A

PA axial with a tube angle of 15 degrees caudal

33
Q

The submentovertex projection requires that the inferior OML (IOML) is placed ______to the image receptor

A

parallel

34
Q

What projection of the skull requires the sagittal plane to be parallel to the image receptor (IR) and the interpupillary line to be perpendicular to the IR?

A

lateral view

35
Q

A radiograph of a posteroanterior (PA) axial projection (Caldwell method) of the cranium reveals that the petrous ridges are located at the level of the lower one third of the orbits. The technologist performed this projection with the CR angled 15° caudal to the orbitomeatal line (OML). How must positioning be altered if a repeat exposure is performed?

A

Nothing, the position is correct

36
Q

Which cranial projection(s) will best demonstrate a possible basilar fracture?

A

Horizontal beam lateral

37
Q

Which positioning line should be perpendicular to the plane of the IR for the AP axial (Towne) projection with a 37° caudad CR angle?

A

IOML and EAM

38
Q

How much difference is there between the OML and IOML positioning lines?

A

7 degrees

39
Q

What projection of the skull requires the central ray (CR) to be centered to exit at the glabella?

A

PA skull

40
Q

How many skull bones are present in the human body?

A

22

41
Q

Which positioning error most often results in a repeat exposure of a cranial position?

A

rotation
