C-spine
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cervical vertebra one and two are often referenced by two different names âwhich are ______ and ___________? | Atlas c-1 and Axis c-2 And has the dens |
| The odontoid process is located on which cervical vertebra? | Axis c-2 |
| What anatomy does the oblique cervical spine projection best demonstrate? | Intervertebral foramina on side farthest from IR |
| For the AP axial cervical spine projection, in what direction and to what degree is the central ray angled and why? | cephalic and it directs the beams to the intervertebral disk spaces |
| What anatomy does the oblique cervical spine projection best demonstrate? | RAO and LAO intervertebral foramina and pedicles the side closet to the IR right and left |
| For the AP axial cervical spine projection, in what direction and to what degree is the central ray angled and why? | Space between the pedicles and Intervertebral disk |
| What anatomy does the oblique cervical spine projection best demonstrate? | Anterior obliques intervertebral foramina and pedicles on the side closet to the IR Posterior the furthest |
| âIf the patient is placed in the AP axial oblique projection (RPO or LPO position) for a cervical spine radiograph, which anatomy will be best demonstrated - the upside or downside? Demonstrate this on the radiographic image. | Lpo the right intervertebral foramina is being shown and rpo the left |
| âWhat anatomy does the lateral cervical spine radiograph best demonstrate? | Zygopopseal joints |
| âExplain two types of fracture that may occur in the cervical region. | Odontoid fracture fracture of the dens Jefferson fracture anterior or and posterior arches of the c-1 |
| If you are unable to demonstrate C7 & at least one third of T1 on the lateral projection, what can you do? | The swimmers or a lateral view with sandbags |
| What are the method names for the upright and recumbent lateral cervicothoracic projections? | Swimmers twining method c-3 t-5 region Pawlow cr t-1 3-5 caudad |
| âWhat would hyperflexion and hyperextension lateral cervical spine projections demonstrate? | Range of motion Hyperflexion is forward better know as whiplash Hyperextension is back |
| What feature is unique to the transverse processes of the typical cervical vertebrae? | It has transverse foramina Bifid spinous process tips and overlapping vertebral bodies |
| âDescribe the area called the articular pillar on the usual cervical vertebra. | Area between the superior and inferior articular process lies underneath the posterior neck to help make the spinal cord |
| âThe spinous process is shorter and on some cervical vertebrae ends in two projections. This double-ended spinous process is said to have a _____ _____. | Bidfid tip |
| âThe 7th cervical vertebra assumes many of the features of the thoracic vertebrae including an extra long spinous process that gives C7 a special name. What is it? | Vertebra prominens |
| âFor the AP open mouth projection, how is the head adjusted to properly demonstrate the odontoid process and the joint space between the atlas and axis? | So the lower margin of the upper incisors to the base of the skull is perpendicular to the IR |
| âIf this projection fails to demonstrate the odontoid tip, what additional projection can be done and how is it performed? | Judd method mml parallel to the cr and perpendicular to the IR cr pointedly mastoid tips |
| Prominens | Pra ma nenz |
| Intervertebral | Inter vert a brail |
