You are taking a VD Hip-Extended view of a canine pelvis. You should collimate caudally to the:

patellas

When imaging a forelimb or hindlimb, it is generally a good idea to also image the contralateral (normal) limb.

true

Most canine pelvis views require a grid because of the greater thickness.

true

Identify the routine views of the tarsus, metatarsus, and digits of the hindfoot. (Select all that apply.)

Lateral
Plantarodorsal

dentify this artifact: (it has a milky appearance)

film fog

Where should the central ray be on a ventrodorsal view of a cat's abdomen?

2 - 3 fingerbreadths caudal to the umbilicus Correct

You finish processing a film with an automatic processor and you notice that the film has a pinkish, milky appearance. What caused this?

Exhausted fixer

Digital imaging (DR) eliminates which step from the imaging process

processing

Which view allows for evaluation of the ulner anconeal process?

Lateral elbow hyperflexed

All of the following indicate that your lateral abdominal radiograph is positioned properly (not rotated), except:

Wings of the ilium are symmetrical

Identify this artifact: (it has a milky appearance)

Exhausted fixer

You are taking a lateral image of the left humerus. Where will you center the beam?

Midshaft of the humerus

When taking a caudocranial (CdCr) view of the shoulder, the label should be placed:

Laterally

Which view allows for evaluation of the supratrochlear foramen?

Oblique elbow

Identify the cranial border for a lateral abdominal radiograph on a dog

One inch cranial to the xiphoid

You are taking a lateral image of the left humerus. Where will you measure your patient?

Proximal humerus

You are taking a VD Hip-Extended view of a canine pelvis. You should collimate cranially to the:

Tip of the wings of the ilium

All of the following indicate that your VD abdominal radiograph is position properly (not rotated), except:

obturator foramina are superimposed

In an automatic processor the second step of processing film is

fixer

Every time a roller comes into contact with the film emulsion in an automatic processor, it has the potential to imprint an artifact on the image.
