Anatomy
this is the eye of a scotty dog in an lspine
pedicle
the centering point for cr for a ap axial cspine
c4 or upper margin of thyroid cartilage
this needs to happen when the patients teeth are obstructing the dens in an ap open mouth projection
Tilt the head back
explain the position and cr for a garth method?
patient 45-degree rotation, 45 degree caudad angle
a kub demonstrates the diaphragm to slightly above the pubis symphysis.
Is there an error? if so what is it and fix it?
dont need the diaphragm, centering was too high.
identify the anatomy ppt 1.
pedicles
45 degrees
explain what determines no rotation in an ap t-spine
sternoclavicular joints equidistant to spine.
explain the cr for a recumbent lateral abdomen
an ap lordotic chest demonstrates the clavicles above the apices to the costophrenic angles. Ribs appear distorted, and the clavicles are almost horizontal.
what is wrong? explain how to fix it if something is wrong
nothing acceptable image.
The landark ASIS is at the same level of this
S1-S2
what line is used to position a judd or fuchs (projection for odontoid process
mml
This specific anatomy is present in a LAO T-spine?
Lt z joints- downside z joints is acceptable
centered to iliac crest
why?
what images should be taken for a trauma elbow?
some kind of ap and lateral- two images 90 degrees apart from one another
what is unique about the t-spine spinous process
it angles inferiorly to next level of tspine
position a classmate for a swimmers projection, and describe the centering point
the closest arm to board anterior, furthest arm posterior
cr t1 level of vertebral prominens
an erect ap axial cspine centered at c4, with a 15 degree cephalad angle shows no openings between vertebrae. is a repeat necessary? if so why or why not. explain how you would fix it if you repeat it.
the vertebral bodies naturally overlap, axial cspine should include openings between the bodies. increase the angle to 20 degrees.
CR for LPO judet method for left hip
2" distal and medial to downside ASIS
appears in lateral elbow- a sign of joint effusion from trauma- it is the anterior fat pad- bending of the fat pad
instead of a vertebral body, c1 has this
what position/projection should be done first in a trauma situation?
lateral c spine
the image shows the patient tilting head and neck forward, the image is labeled hyperextension, it displays c1-c6 visibly, c7 is a bit blurry. spinous processes are well separated.
what is the biggest issue with this image?
it is marked hyperextension, should be hyperflexion
explain how to manipulate the tube to obtain an ap portable scapular y method
angle the tube medially toward the patient.
a pa radiograph of the chest indicates that the heart is enlarged, right sc joint is closer to the spinous processes than the left. The left costophrenic angle appears more blunt than sharp compared to the right.
the patient is rotated to the left- rao position
