Q

Proper respiration for IVP studies is –1–. however, the most important thing to remember about respirations is –2–.

A
  1. Suspend on exhalation

2. keep the respiration contrast through the entire exam.

20
Q

Kidneys are able to move —- to —- inches during respiration.

A

1/2 to 1 and 1/2

21
Q

Which pole of the kidney lies more posterior?

A

Upper pole

22
Q

Name 2 of the 4 criteria needed for tomography.

A

Xray source and object

23
Q

With regard to exposure angle when performing tomography, the larger the exposure angle the –1– the cut of the anatomy.

A

thinner

24
Q

When performing oblique bladder images the patient should be rotated so the MCP is –1– degrees from the IR/table.

A

40-60 degrees

25
Q

Another term for urinating is –1–.

A

Micturition

26
Q

The medical term for a “dropped” kidney is –1–.

A

Nephroptosis

27
Q

The functioning unit of the kidneys is the –1–.

A

Nephrons

28
Q

The capillary network that aids the filtrate from the blood that will eventually become urine is the –1–.

A

Glomerulus

29
Q

Why is it important to know the values of a patient’s BUN and Creatinine prior to injection or contrast material?

A

Those levels are a direct indication of kidney function. IF you have a high BUN reading you are at an increased risk of throwing your patient into contrast induced renal failure.

30
Q

What is the function of the urethra?

A

To carry urine out of the body

31
Q

Define the following terms:

  1. Incontinence-
  2. Hematuria
  3. Pyuria-
  4. Prostatic Hypertrophy-
  5. Dysuria-
A
  1. The uncontrollable/involuntary emptying of the bladder.
  2. Blood in the urine.
  3. Pus in the urine.
  4. Enlarged prostate.
  5. Pain when urinating.
32
Q

Explain the basic procedure for determining the proper tomo cuts for an IVP study.

A

measure, cut in half, subtract 2, multiply by 10= middle cut.

33
Q

VCUG stands for –1–.

A

Voiding Cysto Urethrogram

34
Q

How do you center for a:

  1. Kidney-
  2. Bladder-
  3. KUB-
A
  1. Bisect xiphoid process (T10) and umblicus (L4)
  2. 2 inches below ASIS
  3. Center at Creast along MSP
35
Q

Regarding kidney tomograms, if three tomo cuts are performed at 70-80-90, which is the most anterior cut and explain how you can tell.

A

90 is the most anterior cut because you will see the body of the vertebrae.

36
Q

Sheilding is not necessary when performing an IVP study.

A

False

37
Q

A student may read the consent and explain an exam if a technologist is present.

A

True

The proper kV range for urinary studies should be the mid 60s.

Q

When performing an oblique bladder image, the –1– UVJ will be best demonstrated.

A

Side up

41

A

cathaterized

42
Q

Label the following radiograph.

A
  1. Minor Calacys
  2. Major Calycys
  3. Renal Pelvis
  4. Contrast filled ureters
  5. contrast in bladder

A

voiding cystourethroureterography
