Answer to Question 1

Plain x-rays are taken without enhancement (ie, without contrast media). Planar x-ray refers to simple x-ray techniques that produce a 2-dimensional image of the structures lying between the x-ray source and the film (the plane). Planar x-ray may or may not use contrast media.

Answer to Question 2

Activity, no specific answer provided. Note, a lordotic view positions the patient so that the clavicles are not superimposed over the lungs; helpful in imaging the apices.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
