IP E2
1. greater trochanter in profile
2. femoral neck not foreshortened.
3. proximal tib fib slightly super imposed
4. patella slightly medial.
What bones form the acetabulum?
1. ilium
2. pubis
3. ischium
How are the femoral necks positioned in reference to the IR in a Axiolateral projection (danelius-miller method)?
Femoral necks are parallel to the IR.
What are the breathing instructions for Lower Ribs?
Suspend on full expiration, this elevates the diaphragm.
how many ribs are demonstrated on a PA projection of the anterior ribs? Above the diaphragm.
ribs 1-7 (bill) ribs 1-9 (Merrils)
What articulations do we need to include on an AP or Lateral Femur?
Knee joint to acetabulum (hip joint).
For an AP projection of the pelvis, it reveals the obturator foramen of the right side is considerably smaller than the left side. What is the cause of the problem.
Patient rotated towards right side.
the ribs furthest away from the IR, right ribs.
What is the BEST POSITION for Upper Ribs?
IR 1-1/2 inches above the shoulder
What position do we do for the sternum, what is the sternum superimposed on?
Pa oblique projection, RAO positon.
sternum projected over heart, free from t-spine
CR location for AP femur?
Perpendicular mid femoral shaft.
how do we position a true AP HIP projection on a Non-Trauma patient?
supine, hands on chest, rotate limbs 15-20 degrees medially. This places femoral necks in profile.
PA OR AP. RAO OR LAO. RPO OR LPO
What is the BEST POSITION for lower ribs?
IR at the iliac crest.
What position would BEST DEMONSTRATE the SC joint?
PA oblique projection
RAO for right SC
LAO for left SC
Prone is also a position that BD's.
CR location for AP Hip?
perpendicular to femoral neck. Top of ir 1 inch below iliac crest.
Where are the greater and lesser trochanters located on an AP cleaves method projection? (HIP).
Greater trochanter in profile laterally
Lesser trochanter in profile medially.
What are the positions for the Lower Ribs?
PA OR AP. RAO OR LAO. RPO OR LPO
how much do we rotate the paitent for Oblique ribs projections?
45 degrees.
Where does the Head of the rib articulate?
Vertebral body of spine.
Perpendicular, midway between ASIS and Pubic Symphysis. Top of IR 1-1/2 inch above iliac crest.
If a patient has a hip fracture, what position would we do instead of a frog?
Axiolateral projection(Danelius-miller method)
What are the breathing instructions for the Upper Ribs?
Suspend on full inspiration, to depress diaphragm.
how many ribs are demonstrated on an AP projection of the posterior ribs? above the diaphragm.
Ribs 1-10
Where does the tubercle of the rib articulate?
Transverse process of spine.
