front 21 part 7 refers to (picture) | back 21 all of the above |
front 22 a rodiograph of a transthoracic lateral projection reveals that it is difficult to visualize the proximal humerus due to ribs and lung markings. the following exposure factors were used: 75 kv, 30 mAs,40-inch sid,grid,suspended respiration. which of the following changes will improve the quality of the image? | back 22 use a breathing technique |
