    In an RAO position the PT is 35-40 degrees  away from the IR which series is it for?

    • Esophagram

    • UGI

    Correct Answer
    A. Esophagram
    Explanation
    In an RAO (Right Anterior Oblique) position, the patient is positioned at a 35-40 degree angle away from the IR (Image Receptor). This position is commonly used for an Esophagram, a radiographic examination of the esophagus. The RAO position helps to visualize the esophagus in profile and allows for better visualization of any abnormalities or abnormalities in the esophagus. Therefore, the correct answer is Esophagram.

    In an RAO position the PT is 40-70 degrees  away from the IR which series is it for?

    • Esophagram

    • UGI

    Correct Answer
    A. UGI
    Explanation
    In an RAO (Right Anterior Oblique) position, the patient is positioned at an angle of 40-70 degrees away from the Image Receptor (IR). This positioning is commonly used for an Upper Gastrointestinal (UGI) series. The UGI series is a radiographic examination of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Therefore, the correct answer is UGI.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The x-ray shows that the shoulder is superimposed on the proximal esophagus which requires a swimmer's lateral which position is this?

    • RAO

    • PA

    • Right Lateral

    • LPO

    • AP

    Correct Answer
    A. Right Lateral
    Explanation
    The x-ray shows that the shoulder is superimposed on the proximal esophagus. This indicates that the patient is positioned in the Right Lateral position. In this position, the patient lies on their right side with the left side of their body against the x-ray plate. This positioning allows for a clear view of the esophagus without any overlapping structures.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which esophagram position provides  better visablity  of the pertient anatomy b/w vertabrae and heart

    • RAO

    • Right lateral

    • AP (PA)

    Correct Answer
    A. RAO
    Explanation
    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:

  • 6. 

    In which series is the the center of the CR placed at the area of the costalfrenic ribs

    • Esophagram

    • UGI

    Correct Answer
    A. UGI
    Explanation
    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:

  • 7. 

    In which esophagram position would be better to see the posterior of the esophagus

    • RAO

    • Right lateral

    • AP

    • LPO

    Correct Answer
    A. Right lateral
    Explanation
    The right lateral position would be better to see the posterior of the esophagus. This position allows for optimal visualization of the posterior aspect of the esophagus by placing the patient on their right side. This position helps to separate the esophagus from other structures and provides a clearer view of the posterior aspect.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which esophagram position is not as good as RAO shows esophagram  filled with barium and has sternal clavicular symetry

    • RAO

    • Right lateral

    • AP (PA)

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

  • 9. 

    Which UGI position shows  possible hital hernia  in AP trendelenburg

    • RAO

    • Right lateral

    • AP (PA)

    • LPO

    Correct Answer
    A. AP (PA)
    Explanation
    The AP (PA) position shows a possible hiatal hernia in Trendelenburg because it allows the radiologist to visualize the diaphragm and the position of the stomach. In this position, the patient is lying supine with the x-ray beam directed from anterior to posterior (AP) or posterior to anterior (PA). This allows for better visualization of the diaphragm and any possible herniation of the stomach through the hiatus. The RAO and LPO positions may also be used to evaluate hiatal hernias, but the AP (PA) position is specifically mentioned in the question.

    Correct Answer
    A. RAO
    Explanation
    The correct answer is RAO. In a right anterior oblique (RAO) position, the esophageal varices are best visualized. This position allows for better visualization of the left atrium and the left atrial appendage, which are areas where esophageal varices are commonly seen. This position also helps to minimize overlap of other structures and provides a clear view of the varices.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which UGI position can have an alternate PA axial  with 35-45 degree chphalic angle for adults and 20-25 degree for infants

    • RAO

    • PA

    • Right Lateral

    • LPO

    • AP

    Correct Answer
    A. PA
    Explanation
    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.

    In which UGI position is the fundus barium filled and more center to the IR

    • RAO

    • PA

    • Right Lateral

    • LPO

    • AP

    Correct Answer
    A. AP
    Explanation
    The fundus is the upper portion of the stomach, and barium is a contrast material used in imaging tests. In the AP (Anteroposterior) position, the patient is facing the X-ray source, and the X-ray beam passes from the front to the back of the body. This position allows for the fundus to be filled with barium and positioned more centrally towards the image receptor (IR). Therefore, the AP position is the most suitable for visualizing the fundus filled with barium and centered towards the IR.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Which UGI position has fundus filled with barium

    • RAO

    • PA

    • Right lateral
