35. what structures must be included in an AP projection of the forearm? radius and ulna wrist joint elbow joint
36. what surface of the forearm is in contact with the film when radiographing the forearm in a lateral position the medial surface
37. describe the position of the forearm when taking a lateral projection of the forearm elbow flexed at 90 degrees, wrist lateral, medial surface of forearm in contact with the film
38. which surface of the elbow is in contact with the film when taking an AP projection of the elbow? posterior
39. what projection may be substituted for a routine AP projection of the elbow joint when the patient is unable to extend the elbow? AP projection of the proximal forearm OR AP projection of the distal humerus OR BOTH IF NECESSARY!!
40. which projection and position of the elbow demonstrates the radial head and capitulum (ka-pit-chew-lum) without superimposition? AP oblique projection with 45 degree lateral rotation
41. what elbow anatomy is best demonstrated on the AP oblique projection in 45 degree medial rotation coronoid process of the ulna and the trochlea (trow-klee-uh)
