Question
Answer
SC Joints: name the two projections   show
🗑
show Mid-sag at T-3 or perp to 3rd thoracic vertebra at level of jugular notch.  
🗑
show Superimposing of vertebral and rib shadows; medial portions of clavicles - all through PA projection.  
🗑
SC Joints: Why do we do a PA instead of an AP projection?   show
🗑
SC Joints: What is respiration during all projections?   show
🗑
SC Joints: During RAO or LAO, what is degree of body rotation?   show
🗑
show Right.  
🗑
show Right SC joint. The right SC joint is OPEN and the left sc joint is closed.  
🗑
show LAO - with left side against IR, which will open up left SC joint.  
🗑
SC Joints: What is the CR position for the RAO projection?   show
🗑
show Yes.  
🗑
SC Joint Technical Factors:   show
🗑
T/F? The SC joint is the only joint that articulates with the appendicular skeleton.   show
🗑
show Bilateral AP upright WITHOUT weights and bilateral AP upright WITH weights.  
🗑
AC joints: What is another name for Bilateral AP upright (with or without weights)?   show
🗑
AC Joints: Where should the CR be positioned?   show
🗑
show Suspended.  
🗑
show Separation of joint space (dislocation, both, partial or complete). The joint space will be wider on separated side.  
🗑
AC Joints: What should the SID be if you can get both AC joints on one cassette?   show
🗑
AC Joints: What is the significance of the 72" SID?   show
🗑
show Small focal, 72" SID (for both AC joints in one exposure), upright bucky, lead marker on affected side AND INDICATION OF WITH OR WITHOUT WEIGHTS.  
🗑
show Your MAS is multiplied by 4. A 40" SID would need a mAs of 3...a 72" SID = mAs of 10.  
🗑
show AP AxialAP Oblique w/medial rotation (30 degree part rotation)Lateral  
🗑
show Phalanges: 14Metatarsals: 5Tarsals: 7Total bones in foot: 26  
🗑
show Medial cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, lateral cuneiform, cuboid, navicular, talus & calcaneus.  
🗑
The big toe is also called this...   show
🗑
show Angled 15 degrees posteriorly at level of MTP joint.  
🗑
show Joint spaces (open) in AP position.  
🗑
show At the MTP joint of toe.  
🗑
Toes: What structures are demonstrated during AP Oblique w/medial rotation?   show
🗑
Toes: Although we didn't do an AP Oblique w/lateral projection during our comps, what is the degree of lateral rotation?   show
🗑
Toes - Technical factors:   show
🗑
What are the three (3) projections of foot?   show
🗑
Foot: What does AP Axial demonstrate?   show
🗑
Foot: Where should the CR be positioned for all foot projections?   show
🗑
show Interspaces betwen the lateral tarsals and 3, 4 and 5th bases of metatarsals, cuboid in profile.  
🗑
Foot: What structures are demonstrated during AP oblique w/lateral rotation?   show
🗑
show APAP Oblique w/medial rotationLateral (mediolateral)  
🗑
show 15 degrees shows ankle mortise; 45 degrees shows tib/fib articulation.  
🗑
Ankle: Where should the CR be positioned during all ankle exposures?   show
🗑
Ankle: What structures are demonstrated during AP projection?   show
🗑
show It is useful in determining fractures; tibia superimposed with fibula, subtalar joint and superior aspect of calcaneus seen.  
🗑
Foot: True or False?Metatarsals will not be superimposed on laterals because of the foot's NATURAL ARCH.   show
🗑
Foot: What is the significance of dorisflexing foot?   show
🗑
show The lateral and medial malleouses.  
🗑
True or False: RT's should always keep a year's supply of gloves, sanitary wipes and DR. Schoal's foot powder on hand in the unlikely scenario that one has to radiograph a foot, ankle or toe.   show
🗑
show TRUE.  
🗑
Foot Questions:1. What metatarsal is the longest tarsal bone?2. What metatarsal extends most posteriorly?   show
🗑
show TRUE.  
🗑
show Calcaneus.  
🗑
show Axial (Plantodorsal or Dorsoplantar) & Lateral.  
🗑
show Plantodorsal: 40 degrees CEPHALIC.Dorsoplantar:40 degrees CAUDAL.  
🗑
show Angle tube 40 degrees cephalad; CR enters idline of plantar surface at base of 3rd metatarsal and exits midline of IR at level of malleoli.  
🗑
Calcaneus: Where should CR be positioned for Lateral projection (Mediolateral)?   show
🗑
show TRUE.  
🗑
Calcaneus: The subtalar joint is made up of 3 facts...they are:   show
🗑
show The calcaneus articulates with the TALUS superiorly and the CUBOID posteriorly.  
🗑
show AP/ Lateral, AP oblique w/medial and AP oblique w/lateral rotation.  
🗑
Lower Leg: CR position?   show
🗑
show AP projection; proximal and distal articulations of tib/fib moderately overlapped.  
🗑
Lower Leg: Lateral structures demonstrated?   show
🗑
Lower Leg: Structures demonstrated during AP oblique with lateral rotation?   show
🗑
Lower Leg: Structures demonstrated during AP oblique with medial rotation?   show
🗑
