Where in the pelvis is the body of the pubis located It forms part of the acetabulum
Where should the IR be centered for the AP projection of the pelvis? Midway between the ASIS and the pubic symphysis
How should the central ray be directed for the AP oblique projection (modified Cleaves method) to demonstrate bilateral hips? perpendicularly
What specific portion of the acetabulum is demonstrated by the AP oblique projection, external oblique position (Judet method)? Anterior rim
Which of the following would best demonstrate the pubic and ischial rami without foreshortening? AP axial "outlet" projection (Taylor method)
What is the proper central ray orientation for the AP axial projection (Taylor method) for female patients? 30-45° cephalad
Which process is located at the superolateral aspect of the proximal femoral shaft? Greater trochanter
What structures for the posterior part of the pelvis? Sacrum and coccyx
Name two areas of the proximal femur that are common sites for fractures in elderly patients. Neck and intertrochanteric crest
Which three names refer to the major bone that makes up the right or left half of the pelvis? Os coxae, hip bone, and innominate
For the lateral projection of the femur, how should the pelvis be positioned to demonstrate only the knee joint with the distal femoral shaft? True lateral
For which lower limb projection should the pelvis be rotated 10-15° from true lateral? Lateral projection of the proximal femur
For which lower limb projection should the lower limb be rotated medially 10-15°? AP projection of the proximal femur
Which projection of the knee can be accomplished with the patient upright, the affected knee flexed and its anterior surface in contact with a vertically placed IR, and the horizontally directed central ray entering the posterior aspect of the knee? PA axial projection (Holmblad method)
How should the central ray be directed for the bilateral weight-bearing AP projection of the knees? perpendicularly
How long should the collimated field be for the AP and AP oblique projections of the ankle? 8 inches
Which projection of the ankle should be performed to best demonstrate a ligamentous tear? AP projection with inversion
Which articulation should be seen in profile with the AP oblique projection (medial rotation) of the ankle? Talofibular
Which projection of the ankle best demonstrates the talofibular joint space free from bony superimposition? AP oblique projection (medial rotation)
How many degrees and in which direction should the foot and leg be rotated to best demonstrate the mortise joint for the AP oblique projection of the ankle? 15-20° medially
Which projection of the foot best demonstrates the bases of the fourth and fifth metatarsals free from superimposition? AP oblique projection (medial rotation)
How many degrees and in what direction should the central ray be directed for the axial (plantodorsal) projection of the calcaneus? 40° cephalad
What procedural compensation is required for the plantodorsal axial projection of the calcaneus when the patient cannot dorsiflex the foot sufficiently to place the plantar surface vertical? Elevate the leg on sandbags to achieve the correct position
Where should the central ray be directed for the AP oblique projection of the foot? to the base of teh third metatarsal

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
