AP Soft Tissue Neck-upper airway IR: SID: Pos.: CR: Coll.: Resp.: | IR: 10x12 LW SID: 40" Pos.: MSP perp. to IR. Center IR to laryngeal prominence. CR: Perp. through MSP @ laryngeal prominence Coll.: 12" LW, 1" beyond skin line CW Resp.: slow inspiration SHIELD |
AP Soft Tissue Neck-upper airway Structures shown | Shows air-filled upper airway, airway is superimposed on the shadow of cervical vertebrae |
AP Soft Tissue Neck-upper airway Evaluation Criteria | Proper collimation and placement of side marker Air-filled upper airway, from pharynx to upper trachea No rotation, spinous processes equidistant to the pedicles and aligned with the midline of the cervical bodies |
AP Soft Tissue Neck-larynx and superior mediastinum IR: SID: Pos.: CR: Coll.: Resp.: | IR: 10x12 LW SID: 40" Pos.: MSP perp. to IR. Center IR to manubrium. CR: Perp. through MSP @ manubrium. Coll.: 12" LW, 1" beyond skin line CW. Resp.: slow inspiration SHIELD |
