C-spine positioning
T-spine anatomy & positioning
Lumbar Spine
Sacrum & Coccyx
100
These structures project posteriorly from the lateral posterior portions of the vertebral body.
pedicles
100
This c-spine "Ain't got nobody"!
C-1 aka atlas
100
Unique structures occurring only on a thoracic vertebrae body and transverse processes to articulate with the ribs
Coastal facets & demifacets
100
Projections that best demonstrate the lumbar apophyseal joints
obliques
100
Type of curve the sacrum and coccyx form
kyphotic
200
These structures convey the spinal column/cord
vertebral foramina
200
According to Merrill's what is the evaluation criterion as to how many C spine should be seen on the AP (axial) projection.
C-3 thru T-2
200
Projection that best demonstrates the thoracic IVF
laterals
200
two reasons why you should have patient flex the hips and bend the knees up on a AP lumbar spine. (Name one)
1. reduce lordotic curve
2. better demo disc spaces
200
CR for an AP sacrum
15 degrees cephalad entering 2" superior to the pubic symphysis
300
these structures occur only in the c-spin to convey the Vertebral Artery & Vein
transverse foramina
300
These obliques best demonstrate the right IVF
RPO and LAO
re: they open 45^ anteriorly to the MSP
300
projection that best demos thoracic apophyseal joint
obliques
300
Related to the scotty dogs seen on obliques, what vertebral structure is demonstrated as the "neck' of the scotty dog
Pars Interarticularis (a portion of the lamina)
300
CR for a PA coccyx
10^ cephalic entering the MSP at the coccyx
400
The only skull projection & method that demonstrate the back part of skull well
AP Axial projection, Townes Method
400
What is the name of this method to demonstrate the top of the dens if you clip it in the open mouth view?
Fuchs method
400
The upper 4 T-spine are usually not seen on a lateral through the shoulders so some places add this "method" to the dept. routine
Swimmers
400
Where the CR enters (front to back) on lateral lumbar spine
MAP or MCP
400
Describe the CR for a lateral sacrum and coccyx
Perp. to level of ASIS and 3 and 1/2" posterior
500
if the lumbar laminae fail to unite and form the spinous process and the meninges/cord protrude, this congenital birth defect occurs
Spina Bifida
500
The angle that the cervical zygapophyseal joints sit in relation to the MSP
90^
500
On a lateral T spine the CR enters at level of T-7 entering ..... (ie front to back)
enters the posterior 1/2 of thorax
500
Where is the CR entrance point for an AP oblique lumbar spine
2" medial to the elevated ASIS and 1 and 1/2 inch superior to the crest
500
The sacrum is formed by the fusion of how many vertebral sections
3-5
