Patient Set Up & Contrast Media
This plane cuts the body into equal anterior and posterior sections.
Midcoronal Plane
The average injection rate of IV contrast for a CT Facial Bones with IV Contrast.
1-2mL/s
The average delay between the contrast injection and scan to best visualize the venous phase of the brain during a CT Head with IV Contrast.
5 Minutes
This structure unique to cervical vertebrae allows for the vertebral arteries to ascend into the brain.
Transverse Foramina
The number of carpal bones in each wrist.
8
The average pulse of an adult.
60-100BPM
The largest of the paranasal sinuses.
Maxillary Sinuses
This soft tissue structure housed in the sella turcica is also called the "master gland".
Pituitary Gland
The semi-gelatinous center of the intervertebral disc.
Nucleus Pulposus
This bone of the forearm does not articulate with the carpal bones.
Ulna
The route of contrast administration utilized for myelography.
Intrathecal
On an axial slice of a CT Facial Bones, this boney structure lies the most anterior.
Nasal Bones
The site of cerebrospinal fluid production.
Choroid Plexus
Also known as a partial dislocation, this pathology is seen in sagittal images of the spine when a vertebrae is misaligned.
Subluxation
In a coronal slice of a CT Hand, this joint space lies the most distal to the wrist.
Third Distal Interphalangeal Joint
A value of renal function, if below 30 it is a contraindication for a patient to have IV contrast.
eGFR
The squamous suture is formed by these two cranial bones.
Parietal and Temporal Bones
This vascular structure supplies a majority of the anterior brain with oxygenated blood and bifurcates into the anterior and middle cerebral arteries at the circle of Willis.
Internal Carotid Artery
Extending posteriorly from C2 to sacrum inside the vertebral canal, this ligament prevents hyperflexion of the spine.
Posterior Longitudinal Ligament
All arterial structures of the upper extremity stem from this branch of the aorta.
Subclavian Arteries
A patient is least likely to have an idiosyncratic reaction to this type of contrast media.
Low Osmolality Contrast Media
This facial bone houses the tear ducts.
Lacrimal Bones
This brainstem structure extends into the spinal cord and aids in regulation of the autonomic nervous system.
Medulla Oblongata
This type of neuron exits the spinal cord at the ventral horn to send signals form the brain to the body.
Efferent Motor Neurons
This fluid filled sack acts as a cushion to reduce friction in the shoulder and is the largest in the body.
Subacromial-Subdeltoid Bursa
