An Ap projection of the upper or lower limb that is rotated is called _______.
Oblique
100
lying down in any position
recumbent
100
This projection describes the central ray that skims a body part to project the anatomy into profile and free of superimposition of surrounding body structures.
Tangential
100
Near the source, or beginning
Proximal
100
Extending a joint beyond the straight or neutral position
Hyperextension
200
Anteroposterior (AP) projection refers to a projection of the CR from ____________ to __________.
anterior to posterior
200
An angled position in which neither the sagittal nor the coronal body plane is perpendicular or at a right angle to the IR
Oblique
200
Any angle of the CR of 10 degrees or more along the long axis of the body or body part.
Axial
200
Toward the head end of the body
Cephalad
200
Outward stress movement of the foot
Eversion
300
A lateral projection such as mediolateral or lateromedial is described by the path of the ____.
Central Ray (CR)
300
A recumbent position with the body tilted lower than the head
Trendelenburg
300
A specific AP axial chest projection for demonstrating the apices of the lungs.
Lordotic
300
Nearer the skin surface
Superficial
300
Extending the ankle joint, moving the foot and toes downward from the normal position
Plantar flexion
400
A positioning term that describes the direction or path of the CR of the x-ray beam.
projection
400
Oblique position in which the right anterior aspect of the body is closest to the IR.
Right Anterior Oblique (RAO)
400
Projection where the CR enters below or inferiorly and exits above or superiorly
Inferosuperior
400
Angle away from the head or toward the feet
Caudad
400
To move around in the form of a circle
Circumduction
500

AP projection
500
This position is essential for detecting air-fluid levels or free air, in patients who cannot assume the erect position
