Term
Definition
Foot AP / AP Axial central ray:   show
🗑
show an AP (dorsoplantar) projection of the tarsals anterior to the talus, metatarsals, and phalanges  
🗑
show - Anatomy from toes to tarsals; may include portions of talus and calcaneus - Axial projection resulting in improved demonstration of IP, MTP, and TMT joint spaces  
🗑
show perpendicular to the IR and entering the base of the third metatarsal  
🗑
Foot AP Oblique Medial / Lateral rotation structures shown:   show
🗑
show - entire foot, from toes to heel - 3rd through 5th MT free of superimposition - 1st and 2nd MT superimposed on medial and intermediate cuneiforms - navicular, lateral cuneiform, and cuboid with less superimposition - tuberosity of the 5th MT  
🗑
Foot LATERAL Mediolateral central ray:   show
🗑
Foot LATERAL Mediolateral structures shown:   show
🗑
Foot LATERAL Mediolateral evaluation criteria:   show
🗑
Calcaneus Axial Plantodorsa central ray:   show
🗑
show an axial projection of the calcaneus  
🗑
Calcaneus Axial Plantodorsa evaluation criteria:   show
🗑
Calcaneus Axial Dorsoplantar central ray:   show
🗑
Calcaneus Axial Dorsoplantar structures shown:   show
🗑
show - calcaneus and the subtalar joint - sustentaculum tali - calcaneus not rotated—the 1st or 5th MT not projected to the sides of the foot - anterior portion of the calcaneus with brightness similar to the posterior portion  
🗑
Calcaneus Lateral Mediolateral central ray:   show
🗑
Calcaneus Lateral Mediolateral structures shown:   show
🗑
Calcaneus Lateral Mediolateral evaluation criteria:   show
🗑
Ankle AP central ray:   show
🗑
Ankle AP structures shown:   show
🗑
show - medial and lateral malleoli - talus with proper brightness - normal overlapping of the tibiofibular articulation with the anterior tubercle slightly superimposed over the fibula - talus slightly overlapping the distal fibula - tibiotalar joint space  
🗑
show perpendicular to the ankle joint, entering the medial malleolus  
🗑
Ankle Mediolateral structures shown:   show
🗑
show -distal tib/fib, talus, calcaneus, and adjacent tarsals - ankle in true lateral position - tibiotalar joint well visualized, with the medial and lateral talar domes superimposed - fibula over the posterior half of the tibia  
🗑
show perpendicular through the ankle joint, entering 12 inch (1.3 cm) superior to the lateral malleolus  
🗑
Ankle Lateromedial structure shown:   show
🗑
show -distal tib/fib, talus, calcaneus, and adjacent tarsals - ankle in true lateral position - tibiotalar joint well visualized, with the medial and lateral talar domes superimposed - fibula over the posterior half of the tibia  
🗑
Ankle AP Oblique Medial rotation central ray:   show
🗑
show - the 45-degree medial oblique projection shows the distal ends of the tibia and fibula, parts of which are often superimposed over the talus - the tibiofibular articulation also should be shown  
🗑
show -ankle joint centered to exposure area - distal tibia, fibula, and talus - proper 45-degree rotation of ankle - tibiofibular articulation open - distal tibia and fibula overlap some of the talus  
🗑
Ankle Mortise Joint AP Oblique Medial rotation central ray:   show
🗑
show - the entire ankle mortise joint should be shown in profile - the 3 sides of the mortise joint should be visualized  
🗑
Ankle Mortise Joint AP Oblique Medial rotation evaluation criteria:   show
🗑
show - perpendicular, entering the ankle joint midway between the malleoli  
🗑
Ankle AP Oblique Lateral rotation structures shown:   show
🗑
Ankle AP Oblique Lateral rotation evaluation criteria:   show
🗑
