Let's see how you scored on your x-ray (radiograph) quiz...

If your score was 0 to 5 correct... you better start showing up for class or you're in big trouble!

If your score was 6 correct... you get a D. Ask for some help to improve a bit.

If you got 7 correct... that's not an acceptable accuracy and you should be determined to do better.

If you got 8 answers correctly... you are doing well but strive for even better results.

9 correct answers is very good! Nobody's perfect... especially in the field of medicine.

If you read all 10 radiographs correctly... congratulations! Now, you have to make more correct decisions regarding how to help the patient!

Choices: Normal Cardiomegaly Loss of bone density Liver fibrosis Answer: Cardiomegaly, which means an enlarged heart. In this dog the heart silhouette should not take up more than about a third of the width of the thoracic cavity. It is rounded in shape and there is evidence of congestion in the lungs.	Choices: Normal Root abscess Intranasal foreign body Loss of bone density Answer: Normal nasal cavity of a dog. A good radiograph of the nasum requires a precisely centered patient. Often sedation or anesthesia is required for positioning and stability during the exposure.	Choices: Normal Unilateral hip dysplasia Bone in colon Constipated Answer: Unilateral (one side affected, not the other) hip dysplasia. The hip on your left side displays a nice, tight fit between the head of the femur and the socket. The hip on your right has a space between the "ball and socket" which will lead to arthritis of this hip.	Choices: Normal Ununited anconeal process Bone spurs Cancer of distal ulna Answer: Normal elbow joint of a dog.	Choices: Normal dog Trachea is obstructed Pneumonia Bloat Answer: This is an x-ray of a cat. No abnormalities noted other than some extra gas dispersed throughout the intestinal tract. We'll have to ask the cat if his belly aches!

Choices: Normal Trachea is obstructed Multiple abnormalities Bone cancer Answer: Multiple abnormalities including enlarged heart, dorsal deviation of trachea, numerous densities in the lung field, obscuration of the heart silhouette.	Choices: Normal Ball in stomach Constipation Bloat Answer... Bloat, also called gastric dilatation. The gas filled stomach takes up too much room in the abdomen and its blood supply is being cut off. Emergency surgery and supportive care is imperative!	Choices: Normal Broken pelvic bones Gravel impaction Abdominal hernia Answer: Hernia (a tear or opening) in the abdominal wall and abdominal contents are escaping into the space beneath the skin of the groin.	Choices: Normal Bone lodged in esophagus Calcified discs Loss of bone density Answer: Normal cervical (neck) vertebra. The base of the skull is seen at the very far left.	Choices: Normal Foreign object in abdomen Splenic enlargement Obstructed bladder Answer: Foreign object, a short piece of wire, is seen inside the abdomen... unless someone played a trick on us and laid the wire under the dog on the x-ray table!
