B)  If the pathological condition is cardiac or pulmonary in nature 
C)  Subtle fractures in the thoracic spine 
D)  Spinous process fractures at the cervicothoracic junction

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 6

-Refer to the figure. Both radiographs of the chest are normal. Which patient was radiographed in a PA (posteroanterior) projection?

Accepted Answer

A)  Patient A 
B)  Patient B 
A)  Patient A

Question 8

-Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is the current standard of care in the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism because of high accuracy, wide availability, and rapid turnaround time.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Accepted Answer

A)  Echocardiogram 
B)  Coronary angiogram 
C)  Pulmonary angiogram 
D)  Magnetic resonance angiogram 
A)  Echocardiogram 
B)  Coronary angiogram 
C)  Pulmonary angiogram 
D)  Magnetic resonance angiogram

Question 10

Accepted Answer

A)  To one lobe of the lung 
B)  To one chamber of the heart 
C)  To one branch of the bronchial tree 
D)  In the bony thorax
