Move the CR and IR around the pt. to produce similar projections rather than moving the pt

Front 3

What is the minimum number of projections generally required for any trauma study?

True

Front 7

T/F: Nuc Med is effective in diagnosing certain emergency conditions such as pulmonary emboli?

Back 7

True

Front 8

T:F: For trauma pt. who can't be moved for conventional diagnostic imaging, other modalities, such as US or Nuc med may be used rather than trying to move the pt. into specific positions.

Back 8

False, It is important to rotate the x-ray tube and IR around th pt if they are unable to move
