Term
Where should the primary beam be focused when taking a radiograph?
Definition
Wherever you want the image.
Term
what is the minimum requirement of taking radiographs?
Definition
.05 Sv
Term
Where should the lead blocker on the cassette always be located?
Definition
On a corner of every cassette when taking radiographs. Also use same label position on every cassette in the facility.
Term
What always needs to placed in the primary beam light with every radiograph taken?
Definition
A grid to absorb scatter radiation and to increase quality of the radiograph.
Term
Identify the structures on the front limb that are proximal to the phalanges?
Definition
Humerus, olecranon, radius, ulna, carpus, and metacarpus
Term
Identify the structures on the rear limb that are proximal to the phalanges?
Definition
Femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsus, metatarsus
Term
Identify structures that are distal to the femur?
Definition
Tibia, fibula, patella, tarsus, metatarsus, phalanges
Term
Identify the structures that are distal to the humerus?
Definition
Radius, ulna, olecranon, tarsus, metacarpus, and phalanges
Term
Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for an enlarged heart?
Definition
To view an enlarged heart you must do an DV inspiration, that what you have best and smallest view of the heart. The beam would go through the tip of the patient and exit out its thoracic vertebrae.
Term
Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for a gastric dilation volvulus?
Definition
The patient needs to be in R lateral recumbency, so the beam needs to enter on the R and exit out the L so more of the stomach which is on the L is on the radiograph.
Term
Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for phalanges distal to the radius?
Definition
Dorsopalmar view of the foot. The beam would go from the top of the foot to the bottom of the foot hence dorsopalmar.
Term
Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for a joint proximal to the femur?
Definition
Since this is the coccygeofemoral joint, the patient needs to be in a ventrodorsal hip-extended view. The beam would enter thru this joint and could the other end.
Term
Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for an injury to the neck?
Definition
Hopefully, without hurting the patient even more, place the patient in a natural lateral view. The beam will enter the C4 vertebrae and exit the opposite side.
Term
Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for an injury to the pelvis?
Definition
Without putting the patient in even more pain, place the animal in a ventrodorsal hip-extended view used a V-trough if needed. The beam will enter the midline at the caudal portion of the ischium and exit the dorsal side of the pelvis.
Term
Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for a stifle injury?
Definition
Hopefully, without hurting the patient even more, place him in a natural lateral (mediolateral) view with the affected leg down and the unaffected leg up. The beam should enter over the indentation of the stifle joint and then exit out the other side of the stifle joint.
Term
Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for a skull fracture?
Definition
Hopefully, without damaging the skull further, place the patient in a dorsoventral view. Have the beam enter either between the two lateral canthi of the eyes on the sagittal crest. and come out the other side or on the area of interest.
Term
Why is it important to collimate as much as possible?
Definition
To reduce as much scatter radiation as possible.
Term
Where should the primary beam be focused when taking a radiograph?
Definition
Wherever you want the image.
Term
what is the minimum requirement of taking radiographs?
Definition
.05 Sv
Term

Term
Identify structures that are distal to the femur?
Definition
Tibia, fibula, patella, tarsus, metatarsus, phalanges
Term
Identify the structures that are distal to the humerus?
Definition
Radius, ulna, olecranon, tarsus, metacarpus, and phalanges
Term
A VD xray of the pelvis should include what?
Definition
pelvis, femur, stifle, and patella
Term
Where do you center the beam on an extended pelvis xray?
Definition
midline of the ischium
Term
what has to be done when taking an OFA
Definition
Sedated, extend the patellas rolled inward, stifles
Term
Why is the area of interest is placed closed to the film as possible?
Definition
reduces distortion
Term
When taking an xray of the tarsus what should be in your view?
Definition
Tibia fibula and metatarsus
Term
What part of the machine is used to change the size of the picture?
Definition
Collimator
Term
When doing a table top what should the SID be?
Definition
40cm
Term
When doing an abdominal radiograph what should I measure?
Definition
Diaphragm and 13 rib
Term
the Dog is measured at 13cm where should the cassette be placed
Definition
least than 10cm table top
larger than 10cm in the Bucky tray
Term
the docs ordered a 3rd view of the thorax what should that 3rd one be?
R LAT, VD....
Definition
