When imaging the patient and the overhead tube is locked into detent, this means:

The overhead tube is locked in transverse and centered with the IR in the Bucky
The overhead tube is locked in longitudinally and centered with the IR in the Bucky
The overhead tube is locked into the set SID
The overhead tube is centered on the patient

Question 2

In reference to anatomical position, where would the scaphoid be located?

medially and proximal row
laterally and proximal row
laterally and distal row
medially and distal row

Answer to Question 1

The overhead tube is locked in transverse and centered with the IR in the Bucky

Rationale: When locking the tube into detent, the overhead tube is centered transversely to the IR placed in the table Bucky.

Answer to Question 2

laterally and proximal row

Rationale: Anatomical position will place the thumb and radial side lateral; therefore, the scaphoid will be lateral and located in the proximal row of carpals.
