b set up for a cross table lateral projection of the knee to look for fat blood layering on the image

as you complete a trauma knee exam in the ER on a MVA patient the ER physician indicates they suspect a fracture that is not clearly visible. They ask you to take another image to see if there is the presence of a *lipohemoarthrosis*. in order to visualize this diagnostic finding you would a indicated that is not a radiology protocol and call the radiologist b set up for a cross table lateral projection of the knee to look for fat blood layering on the image c call CT and inform that you are recommending a CT exam of the knee d set up for an upright weight bearing knee in the ER suite at an expanded SID

b ask a nurse if it is possible to move the lines from the image area

as you prepare to complete a portable chest radiograph on a patient with possible CHF you notice several tubes and lines going into the patient prior to making the exposure you should a adjust your kvp to penetrate the opacity of the lines b ask a nurse if it is possible to move the lines from the image area c ask an orderly to hold the lines up and out of your exposure field d remove lines that are nonvital and complete the exam
