B) 1 inch above the upper border of the pubic symphysis
C) 1 $1 / 2$ inches above the upper border of the pubic symphysis

Accepted Answer

The IR is centered 2 inches above the upper border of the symphysis pubis for an AP axial projection of the urinary bladder to ensure the bladder is adequately visualized.

Question 8

The mucosal folds on the inside of the urinary bladder are called:
A) serosa.
B) omenta.
C) rugae.
D) pleura.

Accepted Answer

The folds on the inside of the urinary bladder are called rugae. Serosa is a smooth membrane that covers the outside of many organs, omenta are layers of fatty tissue in the abdomen, and pleura are membranes that line the lungs and chest cavity.

The answer of Which decubitus position is commonly used during...

Question 10

What is the essential projection used for a cystourethrogram on a male patient?
A) AP
B) AP oblique
C) PA oblique
D) Lateral

Accepted Answer

The answer of What is the essential projection used for...

Question 11

How much is the body rotated for the AP oblique projection of the urinary bladder during a cystogram?
A) 25 degrees
B) 45 degrees
C) 40 to 60 degrees
D) 60 to 80 degrees

Accepted Answer

The body rotation for the AP oblique projection of the urinary bladder during a cystogram is typically 40 to 60 degrees. This projection is also known as a RPO/LPO oblique projection. The purpose of this projection is to demonstrate the ureters as they enter the bladder, providing a clear view of the bladder and urethra.

Question 12

The two kidneys lie:
A) behind the peritoneum.
B) behind the stomach.
C) inside the peritoneum.
D) inside the peritoneal cavity.

Accepted Answer

The kidneys are retroperitoneal organs, which means they are located behind the peritoneum rather than inside it.

Question 13

Which of the following is true regarding positioning of the abdomen for a lateral projection of the urinary system?
A) The midcoronal plane is centered to the grid.
B) A coronal plane 1 inch anterior to the midcoronal plane is centered to the grid.
C) A coronal plane 2 inches anterior to the midcoronal plane is centered to the grid.
D) A coronal plane 2 inches posterior to the midcoronal plane is centered to the grid.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is true regarding...

Question 14

The urinary system includes which of the following?
1)Urethra
2)Two kidneys
3)Suprarenal glands
A) 1 and 2
B) 1 and 3
C) 2 and 3
D) 1, 2, and 3

Accepted Answer

The urinary system includes the urethra (which carries urine out of the body) and two kidneys (which filter waste products from the blood and produce urine). Suprarenal glands, also known as adrenal glands, are not part of the urinary system - they are endocrine glands that produce hormones like adrenaline and cortisol.

Question 15

The abbreviation for the excretory technique of urography is:
A) IVP.
B) EXU.
C) KUB.
D) IVU.

Accepted Answer

IVU stands for intravenous urography, which is a radiographic technique used to image the urinary tract by injecting a contrast dye into a vein. This abbreviation is more commonly used than the other options provided.

Question 16

Which of the following projections are used during a cystogram?
1)AP
2)AP oblique
3)Lateral
A) 1 and 2
B) 1 and 3
C) 2 and 3
D) 1, 2, and 3

Accepted Answer

A cystogram typically uses multiple projections, including AP, AP oblique, and lateral, to provide comprehensive imaging of the bladder.

Question 17

Which of the following is true regarding retrograde urography?
1)The ureters must be catheterized.
2)The exam provides little physiologic information.
3)Contrast is injected directly into the pelvicalyceal system.
A) 1 and 2
B) 1 and 3
C) 2 and 3
D) 1, 2, and 3

Accepted Answer

Retrograde urography involves catheterizing the ureters to inject contrast directly into the pelvicalyceal system, providing anatomical but not physiological information.

Question 18

Which technique is used to get contrast medium into the urinary bladder for a cystogram?
A) Percutaneous technique
B) Physiologic technique
C) Retrograde filling technique
D) Antegrade filling technique

Accepted Answer

Retrograde filling technique is used to get contrast medium into the urinary bladder for a cystogram. This involves placing a catheter through the urethra and filling the bladder with contrast medium from below, allowing for visualization of the bladder and urinary tract on X-ray or other imaging modalities.

A) The midcoronal plane
B) A coronal plane 1 inch anterior to the midcoronal plane
