| ***T/F You CANNOT see vertebral artery calcification on an xray? |
True, he said he would have 3-4 questions based on this |
| In the AP lower cervical view the TVP's of C7 are oriented ____ and _____? the TVP's of T1 are oriented ____ and ___? |
C7 = down and out. T1 = up and out (T1 = Touchdown)...this allows a landmark for counting |
| ***Which view is the best to see IVF's? |
Oblique Cervicals |
| On oblique cervicals where is the mitchell marker placed? |
the marker corresponds to the patient's side closest to the film |
| Marker BEHIND the spine indicates a ______ oblique? A marker in FRONT of the spine indicates a _____ oblique? |
behind the spine = anterior oblique, in front of spine = posterior oblique....This seems backwards |
| What would a Right marker located behind the spine indicate? |
RAO |
| What would a left marker in front of the spine indicate? |
LPO |
| Remember: If it is an ANTERIOR view you see same side IVF's... If posterior, then it's opposite IVF"s |
examples: RPO, you would see Left IVF's.. in a LAO you would see the left IVF's since its an anterior |
| Again... if mitchell marker is behind the spine is it anterior or posterior? |
behind = anterior |
| Info: a dotted line drawn down the middle would indicate that everything on the left side of the line are left sided structures and everything to the right are right sided structures...Except |
Lamina's, laminas are always on the posterior side of the line, but will still be closest to the named marker (confused, see pg 4-5 under cervical oblique projections |
| In a Oblique view Does a RAO and a LPO show the same structures? |
Yes |
