Chest

1. The three reasons for doing radiographs in both inspiration and expiration are to ensure a straight spine, detect fixation or lack of movement of the diaphragm, and distinguish between opacity in rib or in lung. Detecting a possible small pneumothorax is not a reason. 2. The three reasons for doing upright chest radiography are to allow the diaphragm to be at its lowest possible level, to see the larynx and trachea from C-3 to T-4 filled with air, and to prevent engorgement or hyperemia of the pulmonary vessels. Showing possible air and fluid levels is not a reason. 3. Engorgement means distended
