Question 8

As a student radiographer,you have been assigned to work with a classmate as part of a group project.Your assignment is to produce an X-ray image of a nonroutine projection of the skull.To do this,you would perform this

Accepted Answer

A)  on your classmate in a hospital radiographic room. 
B)  on a family member volunteer,in a small clinic setting.

C)  using a skull phantom in a laboratory setting. 
D)  on a patient when he or she visits the clinical setting for this type of study.

Question 9

Exposure factor selection for optimum image quality is one of the most challenging aspects of radiography.In your attempt to produce an image of a patient's hip in the AP projection,you become frustrated with the image you have created because it is sub-optimal in image quality.When you show the image to the supervisor,he abruptly states that you need to repeat the image and this time "get it right." As you begin to repeat the image,your first critical analysis thought should be to

Accepted Answer

A)  select the best solution to get a good image. 
B)  clearly identify the problem that led to the suboptimal image. 
C)  seek out the department manager to report the attitude of the supervisor. 
D)  ask your clinical instructor to repeat the exam for you,so as not to upset the patient.
