c-spine and t-spine
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| swimmers is done when | c7-T1 is not seen on initial lateral |
| how is the head adjusted in AP axial c-spine | head tilted back to that mastoid tips are perpendicular to teh IR |
| angle of the tube for AP axial c-spine | 15-20 degrees cephalad |
| collimation for odontoid (open mouth) | small. 5 x 5. C1-C2 |
| what scan is done to view C1 and C2 | AP open mouth odontoid |
| SID is 72 in for which scans | lateral c-spine, obliques |
| lateral projection of c-spine demonstrates what | zygapophyseal joints |
| the vertebrae are separated by intervertebral discs that are composed of ____. The outer disc is called ____ ____, and the inner disc is called nucleus pulposus. Inner is very ___- | fibrocartilage; annulus fibrosus; soft |
| kyphosis is a condition of the T-spine where it ____ | curves backwards/concaves anteriorly |
| lordotic curves ____ anteriorly. | convex (forward) . like how you bend forward to pray |
| transverse foramina are unique to which vertebrae? what is their purpose? | C3-C6. C1, C2, and C7 are weird. -spaces where arteries flow |
| C1 has no ____ | vertebral body. its just a ring that sits on C2 |
| The anterior ring of atlas articulates with | the dens (odontoid) of axis |
| vertebra prominens | C7, has a long prominent spinous process |
| C4-C5 has a bony landmark called the | thyroid cartilage |
| Collimation should include which vertebrae in AP axial C-spine | C3-T2 |
| small weights can be used in lateral c-spine to | bring the shoulders down |
| angle of tube for AP axial oblique C-spine | 15-20 Cephalad |
| angle of tube for PA axial oblique C-spine | 15-20 Caudad |
| The intervertebral foramina closest to the IR are viewed in | PA axial oblique c-spine |
| If shoulders cannot be depressed on the swimmers, | add a 3-5 degree caudad angle |
| This method is done for pts with trauma who cannot open their mouth and who cannot stand to view the odontoid | Fuchs method - AP odontoid |
| Fuchs method | AP odontoid. supine with chin elevated, include C1-C2 |
| The view where the patient puts their chin as close to the chest as possible is | flexion- lateral c-spine |
| the view where the pt leans their head as far back as possible | extension- lateral c-spine |
| wagging jaw method | Ottonello method. chewing motion to blur the lines of the jaw. Shows C1-2 in AP c-spine |
| lateral cervicothoracic is AKA | swimmers |
| supine is preferred for AP thoracic because | erect compresses the vertebrae |
| AP T-spine is centered to | T7, midway btwn jugular notch and xiphoid process |
| Lateral T-spine uses a breathing technique so you should | increase time, decrease mA |
| what is demonstrated on the lateral T-spine | intervertebral foramina |
| degree of obliquity for PA oblique T-spine | 70 degrees. RAO or LAO |
| PA obliques T-spine best demonstrates the zygapophyseal joints ___ | closest to the IR |
| AP oblique t-spine demonstrates the zygapophyseal joints | farthest form the IR |
| An anterior oblique projection could be a _____ view | RPO or LPO |
| the anode heel effect is more prominent at | shorted SID |
| to best see a compression fracture we would do | lateral t-spine |
| incomplete vertebral arch is AKA | spina bifida |
