MATCHING Select the exposure factor adjustments needed for the pathologic indication(s) using manual exposure settings (no AEC).Increases or decreases in manual exposure factors are compared with the ideal exposure factors that would be used on a normal, healthy individual. -Pulmonary emboli

Match the correct disease or condition with the descriptions of radiographic appearance.(Use each choice only once.) -Slight shadows in early stages,larger radiopaque masses in advanced stages

What is the correct anatomic name for the Adam's apple?

When performing the lateral projection of the upper airway,exposure should be made during a slow,deep inspiration rather than at the end of the inspiration.

Collimation guidelines indicate the upper border of the collimation field should be about 2 inches (5 cm)above the vertebra prominens.

A correctly positioned lateral chest radiograph demonstrates some separation of the posterior ribs owing to the divergent x-ray beam.But a separation of greater than ____ cm indicates objectionable rotation from a true lateral.

The laryngeal prominence is a positioning landmark located at the level of:

Which of the following is a condition in which all or part of a lung is collapsed,requiring an increase in manual exposure factors?

Which of the following structures is considered to be most inferior?
