cervical spine position

        Help!  

Question
Answer
what are the basic cervical spine views   ap open mouth,ap axial,obliques,lateral,lateral horizonal beam,swimmer's lateral  
🗑
ap open mouth is also know as what   C1 and C2 cervical spine  
🗑
lateral horizontal beam is use for what   the trauma patient  
🗑
pathologies of ap open mouth is   fx involving C1 & C2,demonstrates odontoid & Jefferson fx  
🗑
what is the patient position for ap open mouth   erect or supine with arms by side  
🗑
A line from lower margin of upper incisors to the base of the skull(mastoid tips) should be perpendicular/parallel to the table/or IR.ap open mouth   perpendicular  
🗑
what is the CR for AP open mouth   cr is perpendicular to IR,directed to the center of the mouth  
🗑
ap open mouth:what should you instruct your patient to do.   instruct pt to open mouth that only the lower jaw moves. also to keep the tongue in the lower jaw  
🗑
why is it important that the pt keep the tongue in the lower jaw.   it helps in preventing superimposition of vertebrae by mandible.  
🗑
how much of a angle is the ap axial   15 to 20 cephalad  
🗑
what is the CR of ap axial   angle 15 to 20 cephalad,to enter to the level of the lower margin of the thyroid cartilage to pass through C4  
🗑
what does cephalad angulation helps(ap axial)   cephalad angulation directs the beam b/w the overlapping cervical vertebral bodies to better demonstrate the intervertebral disk spaces.  
🗑
when should you angle the tube 15 cephalad on a AP Axial projection   angle the tube 15 degrees when the pt is supine or if there is less lordotic curvature  
🗑
when should you angle the tube 20 cephalad on a AP Axial projection   angle the tube 20 degrees when the pt is prone or if there is more lordotic curvature.  
🗑
what is the pathology on a AP Axial projection.   demonstrates the clay shoveler's fx,commpression fx & herniated nucleus pulposus(HNP).involving mid & lower cervical spine C3 to C4.  
🗑
what are the pathology for a anterior & posterior oblique position   stenosis involving the intervertebrae foramen is demonstrated.  
🗑
why should both anterior & posterior views needed   for comparison purposes  
🗑
what is the preferred position for anterior & posterior oblique position   erect position if perferred  
🗑
what is the CR for a anterior oblique position   15 degrees caudad to C4-level of upper margin thyroid cartilage  
🗑
what is the CR for a posterior oblique position   15 degrees cephalad to C4-level of lower margin thyroid cartilage  
🗑
how does turning the head on a anterior & posterior oblique position helps   helps in preventing superimposition of vertebrae by mandible.  
🗑
what is the pathology for a lateral position   spondylosis and osteoarthritis are demonstrated  
🗑
what is the CR for a lateral position   CR perpendicular to IR, directed horizontally to C4-level of upper margin of thyroid cartilage  
🗑
why do we use a 72 inch sid for a lateral position   compensates for increased OID & provides for less magnification.  
🗑
why do we extend the chin on a lateral position   to prevent superimposition of the mandible on upper vertebrae  
🗑
what is a lateral position,horizontal beam used for   the trauma patient  
🗑
what are the pathology for a lateral position,horizontal beam   clay shoveler's fx,compression fx,hangmans fx,odontoid fx,teardrop burst fx,subluxation  
🗑
what is the CR for a lateral position,horizontal beam   CR perpendicular to IR,directed horizontally to C4-level of uuper margin of thyroid cartilage  
🗑
why do we use a 72 inch sid for the lateral position,horizontal beam   longer sid results in less magnification with increase image sharpness  
🗑
what is the other name for the cervicothoracic (swimmmer's)lateral position   Twining method for C4-T3 Region  
🗑
what are the pathologies for the swimmer's lateral position   inferior cervical spine,superior thoracic spine,& various fx subluxation are demonstrated  
🗑
what is the sid for the swimmer lateral position   72 inches  
🗑
what is the CR for the swimmer's lateral position   CR perpendicular to IR CR centered to T1  
🗑
why is a slight caudad angulation needed for the swimmer's lateral position   3 to 5 degrees maybe necessary to help separate the two shoulders,especially on a pt with limited flexiblity who cannot sufficently depress the shoulder away from the IR  
🗑
what is the other name for the AP Wagging jaw cervical spine   Ottonelle Method  
🗑
what is the pathology for AP Wagging Jaw   pathology involving the dens & surrounding bony structures of the C1 ring as well as the entire cervical column is demonstrated  
🗑
what is the CR for the AP wagging Jaw   CR perpendicular to IR,centered to C4-upper margin of thyroid cartilage  
🗑
what should the mandible be doing during exposure   mandible should be in continuous motion during exposure  
🗑
how should you help the pt with the exposure   practice with pt before exposure to ensure that only the mandible is moving continuously,& teeth do not make contact.  
🗑
how should we adjust the head on a AP Wagging Jaw   adjust head so that the a line drawn from lower margin of upper incisors to the base of the skull is perpendicular to table  
🗑
