Question
Answer
Which two bony landmarks need to be palpated for hip localization   ASIS, Symphysis pubis  
🗑
To achieve a true AP position of the proximal femur, the lower limb must be rotated ________.   15-20* internally  
🗑
Method one to locate the femoral head   Find the mid point between the ASIS and symphysis pubis. Neck 2.5 inches and the head is 1.5 inches distal at right angles  
🗑
Method two to locate the femoral head   Locate ASIS, Go 1-2 inches medial and 3-4 inches distal to the ASIS  
🗑
Which structures on an AP pelvis or hip radiograph indicate whether the proximal head and neck are in position for a true AP projection   Lesser trochanters slightly or not visible  
🗑
Which physical sign may indicate that a patient has a hip fracture   external rotation of effected leg  
🗑
Which projection should be taken first reviewed by a radiologist before attempting to write the hip into a lateral position (if trauma is suspected)   AP Pelvis  
🗑
what is the advantage of using 90kV rather than 80kV range for hip and pelvis studies on younger patients   It reduces the patient dose by 30%  
🗑
What is the disadvantage of using 90kV for hip and pelvis studies,especially on older patients with some bone mass loss   Decreases contrast, bones my appear to gray

🗑
A malignant tumor of the cartilage hip   Chondrosarcoma  
🗑
A disease producing extensive calcification of the longitudinal ligament of the spinal column   Ankylosing spondylitis  
🗑
A fracture resulting form a severe blow to one side of the pelvis   Pelvic ring fracture  
🗑
Malignancy spread to bone via the circulatory and lymphatic systems or direct invasion   Metastatic carcinoma  
🗑
Now referred to as developmental dysplasia of the hip   Congenital dislocation  
🗑
Which of the following modalities will best demonstrate a possible pelvic ring fracture   CT  
🗑
Both joints must be included on an _____ and ____ projection of the femur even if a fracture of the proximal femur is evident   AP, lateral  
🗑
Where is the central ray placed for an AP pelvis projection   Midway between ASIS and symphysis pubis  
🗑
Which ionization chambers should be activated when using automatic exposure control for an AP pelvis projection   Upper right and left chambers  
🗑
Which specific positioning error is present when the left iliac wing is elongated on an AP pelvis radiograph   Rotation in that direction (left)  
🗑
Which positioning error is present when the left obturator foramen is more open than the right side on an AP pelvis projection   Rotation in the direction to the right  
🗑
Used for patients with traumatic or non-traumatic injuries: Danelius-miller   Traumatic  
🗑
Used for patients with traumatic or non-traumatic injuries: Unilateral frog-leg   Non-traumatic

🗑
Used for patients with traumatic or non-traumatic injuries: Clements-Nakayama   Traumatic  
🗑
Used for patients with traumatic or non-traumatic injuries:Anterior pelvic bones   Traumatic  
🗑
which projection is recommended to demonstrate the superoposterior wall of the acetabulum   PA axial oblique  
🗑
How many degrees are the femurs abducted (from the vertical plane) for the bilateral frog-leg projection   40-45*  
🗑
where is the central ray placed for a unilateral frog-leg projection   midfemoral neck  
🗑
which cassette size should be used for an adult bilateral frog-leg projection   14x17 crosswise  
🗑
Where is the central ray placed for an AP bilateral frog-leg projection   1 inch superior of the symphysis pubis  
🗑

🗑
The axiolateral (inferosuperior) projection is designed for ______ situations   Trauma  
🗑
How is the unaffected leg positioned for the axiolateral hip projection   Flexed and thigh near vertical  
🗑
The modified axiolateral requires the CR to be angled _____ posteriorly from horizontal   15-20*  
🗑
Which special projection of the hip demonstrates the anterior and posterior rims of the acetabulum and the ilioischial and iliopubic columns   Posterior oblique pelvis (Judet method)  
🗑
Axiolateral (inferosuperior)   Danelius-miller  
🗑
Modified axiolateral   Clements-nakayama  
🗑
