Which cervical vertebra is referred to as the axis? C2
The dens is accommodated by the: Anterior arch of C1
The inner aspect of the intervertebral disk is termed: Nucleus pulposus
The vertebral arch is formed by the: Pedicles and lamina
What is the name of the two bony processes extending laterally from the lamina? Transverse processes
The term vertebra prominens refers to: C7
The angle between the thoracic zygapophyseal joints and the midsagittal plane is approximately: 70°
An abnormal lateral curvature of the spine is termed: Scoliosis

When the head is in a neutral position, the gonion is at the level of: C3
The kV range for radiography of the cervical spine is: 70-80
CT is used to evaluate these in the cervical spine: Arthritis Herniated disks Spinal trauma
Which specific portions of the vertebral column are best demonstrated by the lateral position for the cervicothoracic region? C4 to T3
How far is the head extended for the AP projection (Fuchs method)? The head is extended until the mentomeatal line (MML) is near perpendicular to the IR.
Which landmarks are aligned for the AP projection in the open mouth position? Base of the skull & Lower edge of the upper incisors

For the lateral projection of the cervicothoracic region, the CR is directed: Perpendicular to T1
The IR size and orientation for a lateral projection of the cervical spine using a horizontal beam is: 10 x 12 inches (24 x 30 cm) lengthwise
For the AP axial projection to demonstrate the vertebral arch, the CR is directed: 20° to 30° caudad angle
The IR size and orientation for lateral projections of the cervical spine in hyperflexion and hyperextension is: 10 x 12 inches (24 x 30 cm) lengthwise
To demonstrate mobility of the cervical vertebrae, lateral projections of the cervical spine may be taken in: Hyperflexion & Hyperextension

he recommended length of exposure time for a lateral projection of the thoracic spine is: 3 to 4 seconds of exposure time
A radiograph of a lateral thoracic spine projection demonstrates poor visibility of the thoracic vertebrae due to the overlap of ribs and lung markings. The image can be improved by: Using a breathing technique
