In which series is the the center of the CR placed at the area of the costalfrenic ribs
- A.
Esophagram
- B.
UGI
Correct Answer
B. UGIExplanation
The correct answer is UGI. In an UGI (Upper Gastrointestinal) series, the center of the CR (Central Ray) is placed at the area of the costal-frenic ribs. This positioning allows for better visualization of the upper gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The UGI series is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as ulcers, tumors, and gastrointestinal reflux disease.Rate this question:

In which series is the the top of the IR placed right under the Pt nose
- A.
Esophagram
- B.
UGI
Correct Answer
A. EsopHagramExplanation
The correct answer is "esophagram". In an esophagram, the top of the IR (Image Receptor) is positioned right under the Pt (Patient) nose. This positioning allows for a clear and accurate image of the esophagus to be captured. The UGI (Upper Gastrointestinal) series, on the other hand, involves imaging the entire upper gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, but the positioning of the IR is not specifically mentioned. Therefore, the esophagram is the only series mentioned where the top of the IR is placed right under the Pt nose.Rate this question:

When do you place the SID at 72 and for what series ?
- A.
Erect
- B.
Esophagram
- C.
Recumbent
- D.
UGI
Correct Answer(s)
A. Erect
B. EsopHagramExplanation
The SID (Source-to-Image Distance) is placed at 72 for an esophagram in an erect position. This means that the distance between the x-ray tube and the image receptor is set at 72 inches. The erect position is used for imaging the esophagus, where the patient is standing or sitting upright. This positioning helps to visualize the esophagus and surrounding structures more clearly.Rate this question:

Which esophagram position is not as good as RAO shows esophagram filled with barium and has sternal clavicular symetry
- A.
RAO
- B.
Right lateral
- C.
AP (PA)
Correct Answer
C. AP (PA)Explanation
The AP (PA) position is not as good as RAO for an esophagram because in the AP (PA) position, the esophagram is filled with barium and shows sternal clavicular symmetry. This means that the barium is not able to flow freely and reach the desired areas of the esophagus for better visualization. In contrast, the RAO position allows for better visualization of the esophagus as it allows the barium to flow more freely and provides a better view of the esophageal anatomy.Rate this question:

Which esophagram position provides better visablity of the pertient anatomy b/w vertabrae and heart
- A.
RAO
- B.
Right lateral
- C.
AP (PA)
Correct Answer
A. RAOExplanation
The RAO (Right Anterior Oblique) position provides better visibility of the pertinent anatomy between the vertebrae and the heart. This position allows for a better lateral view of the esophagus, making it easier to visualize any abnormalities or issues in that area. The right lateral position may not provide as clear of a view, as it only shows a side view of the esophagus. The AP (PA) position, which stands for Anterior-Posterior (Posterior-Anterior), is a frontal view and may not provide the same level of visibility as the RAO position.Rate this question:

- A.
RAO
- B.
PA
- C.
Right Lateral
- D.
LPO
- E.
AP
Correct Answer
B. PAExplanation
The correct answer is PA. The PA (Posteroanterior) position is commonly used in radiography to obtain frontal images of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. In this position, the x-ray beam enters the patient's posterior side and exits through the anterior side, providing a clear view of the internal structures. The PA axial view is a modification of the PA position, where the central ray is angled cephalically. This technique is used to visualize specific structures, such as the apices of the lungs or the upper gastrointestinal tract, and the angle of 35-45 degrees for adults and 20-25 degrees for infants ensures optimal image quality.Rate this question:
