C-Spine positioning

QuestionAnswer
name given to the C7 vertebra prominens
openings in the cervical vertebrae for the transmission of the vertebral artery and vein transverse foramen
Where should the center of the IR be positioned for the open mouth AP projection of the atlas and axis? C2
Which line must be perpendicular to the IR for the AP open mouth atlas and axis Line drawn from the lower edge of the upper incisors to the tip of the mastoid process
For which projection is the patient instructed to softly phonate ah during the exposure? AP open mouth atlas and axis
Where is the CR directed for an open mouth AP projection of the atlas and axis? center of the IR perpendicular thru the open mouth
When the OID long, scattered radiation that would expose the film at a short OID is scattered away from the film. Because much of the scattered radiation is not being directed toward the film, a grid is not needed to absorb the scatter air gap technique
For which projection is the patient instructed to softly phonate ah during the exposure? AP open mouth atlas and axis

Grandy method is? lateral C-spine
Where is the CR centered for a hyperflexion or hyperextension lateral c spine? C4
The phase of respiration for a hyperflexion or hyperextension lateral c spine is? suspended respiration
How much is the body rotated for AP axial oblique projection of the cervical intervertebral foramina? 45 degrees
The swimmers lateral projection is performed to demonstrate the? cervicalthoracic region
The twining method demonstrates the Cervicothoracic region in which projection? lateral swimmers
What is the CR angulation for an AP axial projection of the cervical spine on a trauma patient? 15-20 cephalad
Flexion and extension views of the cervical vertebrae are performed to show? degree of moblity
The thyroid cartilage generally corresponds to the level of? C4-C6
true or false: If the patient’s head and upper cervical column are tilted toward or away from the film, the upper cervical column is no longer aligned parallel with the film. true
Where is the CR directed for the lateral projection of the cervicothoracic region twining method? C7-T1
True or False: If the patients chin was not adequately elevated, the mandibular rami superimpose the bodies of c1 and c2 true
What is the CR angle for the pa axial oblique projection of the cervical intervertebral foramina? 15-20 degrees caudad

The respiration phase for an AP or pa axial oblique projection of the c spine is: suspended respiration
Patients may arrive in the emergency room with trauma to the neck. Which projection of the c spine is performed first, and then reviewed by a physician, before proceeding with other projections? cross table lateral to check for fx
The recommended SID for a dorsal decubitus cross table lateral projection of the c spine on a trauma patient is: 60-72 inches
What is the CR angulation for an AP axial projection of the c spine on a trauma patient? 15-20 degrees cephalad

Where is the CR directed for the lateral projection of the cervicothoracic region twining method? C7-T1
The Pawlow method demonstrates the cervicothoracic region in which projection? lateral
The CR angulation for the lateral projection of the cervicothoracic region Pawlow method is: 3-5 degrees caudad
Flexion and extension views of the c spine are performed in the __ position? lateral
The thyroid cartilage corresponds to level of C4-C6
Along with the lower edge of the upper incisors, what other bony landmark must be aligned for the AP open mouth projection? tip of mastiod
Why is the chin extended for lateral projection of the c spine? to prevent superimopsition of the C1-C2
If the patients chin was not adequately elevated, the mandibular rami will superimpose the bodies of? C1 and C2
