Question
Answer
Lateral Projection-Swimmers Technique   Twining and Pawlow Methods  
🗑
Twining Method PT part   upright lateral position  
🗑
Pawlow Method PT part   recumbent lateral position w/head elevated on PT's arm  
🗑
IR for Swimmers Technnique   centered at level of C7-T1 interspace; 2" above jugular notch  
🗑
Swimmers Technique position part   arm closest to IR above head; humeral head can be moved anteriorly  
🗑
Respiration for Swimmers Technique   suspend or if PT can a breathing technique can be used to blur the lung anatomy  
🗑
CR for Swimmers Technique   Directed at C7-T1 if shoulder away from IR is depressed or at an anlge of 3-5 caudal wen should cannot be depressed  
🗑
Eval for Swimmers Technique   Lower cervical and upper thoracic not rotated; humeral heads min SI on vert column  
🗑
Position for PA Axial Oblique Projection   RAO or LAO position  
🗑
SID for PA Axial Oblique   60"-72" because of increased OID  
🗑
Position PT for PA Axial Oblique   upright w/ PT back toward x-ray tube  
🗑
Position part for PA Axial Oblique   Upright or semisupine; rotate PR 45 to place foramina = w/ IR  
🗑
IR centered for PA Axial Oblique   centered at level of C5 which allows for caudal angualtion  
🗑
Why elevate and protrude chine in PA Axial Oblique   prevents SI of mandible w/ upper cervical  
🗑
CR for Pa Axial Oblique   C4 at an anlge of 15-20 caudad which will coincide w/ angle of foramina  
🗑
Structures shown for PA Axial Oblique   intervertebral foramina and pedicles closest to IR  
🗑
Evaluation criteria for PA Axial Oblique   open intervert foramina closest to IR; C1-T1; open intervert disk space; occipital bone not overlapping axis; mandible not overlapping C1-C2  
🗑
Position for AP Axial Oblique Projection   RPO and LPR position  
🗑
SID for AP Axial Oblique   60"-72" because of increased OID  
🗑
PT position for AP Axial Oblique   supine for upright facing the x-ray tube  
🗑
Position of part AP Axial Oblique   rotate body 45 and center cervical spine to midline of IR  
🗑
IR position for AP Axial Oblique   Center the IR to the 3rd cervical body, superior to the most prominent point of thyroid cartilage  
🗑
CR for AP Axial Oblique   Directed at C4 at a cephald angle of 15-20 so the CR coincides w/ angle of foramina  
🗑
Structures shown for AP Axial Oblique   intervertebral foramina and pedicles farthest from IR  
🗑
Evaluation criteria for AP Axial Oblique   open intervert foramina farthest from IR from C2-T1; open intervert disk space; elevated chin that doesn't overlap atlas/axis; occipital bone not overlapping axis  
🗑
What is the method for the Lateral Projection   Grandy Method  
🗑
SID for Grandy Method   60"-72" SID for increased OID, the longer distance helps demo C7  
🗑
PT position for Grandy Method   true lateral, upright standing or sitting  
🗑
IR for Grandy Method   Height or IR centered at level of C4, top of IR will be about 1" above EAM  
🗑
Position part for Grandy Method   center coronal plane through mastoid process tips to midline of IR  
🗑
Which directions to rotate shoulders for Grandy Method   anteriorly or posteriorly according to PT natural kyphosis and depress shoulders as much as possible  
🗑
Chin for Grandy Method   elevate slightly, to prevent SI of mandibular rami and spine  
🗑
Respiration for Grandy Method   suspend at end of full expiration to obtain maximal depression of shoulders  
🗑
CR for Grandy Method   Horizontal and perpendiculat to C4; magnified shoulder farthest from IR is projected below the lower cerv vert  
🗑
Structures shown for Grandy Method   later projection of cerv vert bodies, their interspaces, articular pillars, lower 5 zyga jts; spinous processes; good lat will include C7  
🗑
Evaluation criteria for Grandy Method   all 7 cerv vert and 1/3 of T1; neck extended fo mandibular rami are not overlapping C1/C2; SI rami of mandible; C4 in center of radiograph; no rotation or tilt of cerv spine indicated by SI open zyga jts adn intervert disk space  
🗑
PT position for AP Axial   supine ro upright; shoulders lie in same plane  
🗑
Part position for AP Axial   extend chin do occlusal plane is perpendicular to tbl  
🗑
Why extend chin for AP Axial   prevents SI of mandible and midcervical vert  
🗑
IR position for AP Axial   centered at level of C4  
🗑
Cr for AP Axial   though C4 at an anlge of 15-20 cephalad; enters slightly inferior to most prominent point of thyroid cart  
🗑
Structures shown for AP Axial   lower 5 cerv bodies and upper 2 thoracid bodies; SI transverse adn articular processes; intervert disk space  
🗑
Evaluation criteria for AP Axial   superior C3-T2; shadows of mandible and occiput SI over C1/C2; open intervert disk space; spinous process equidistant to pedicles and aligned w/ midling of cerv bodies; mandibular angles and mastoid process equidistant to the vert  
🗑
What is the method for Dens AP Projection   Fuchs Method  
🗑
PT position for Fuchs Method   supine, center midsagittal plane of the body to midline of grid  
🗑
Part position for Fuchs Method   extend chin until tip of chin and tip of mastiod process are vertical  
🗑
IR for Fuchs Method   perpendicular to midpoint of IR; enters the neck on midsagittal plane just distal to tip of chin  
🗑
Structures shown for Fuchs Method   AP projection of the dens lying w/in circular foramen magnum  
🗑
Evaluation criteria for Fuchs Method   entire dens w/in foramen magnum; symmetry of mandible, crandium, and vert, indicating no rotation of head or neck  
🗑
Atlas and Axis AP Projection   Open Mouth  
🗑
SID for Open Mouth   30" to increase the field of view of the odontoid area  
🗑
PT position for Open Mouth   Supine; center midsag to midline fo grid  
🗑
Position part for Open Mouth   open mouth as wide as possible; adjust head so that a line form the lower edge of upper incisors to tip of mastoid process is perpendicular to IR  
🗑
IR position for Open Mouth   centered at level of axis  
🗑
Respiration for Open Mouth   keep mouth open and phonate "ah" to place tongue in the floor of mouth so tongue is not projected on C1/C2  
🗑
CR for Open Mouth   perpendicular to center of IR entering at midpoint of open mouth  
🗑
Structures shown for Open Mouth   AP of axis/atlas through open mouth  
🗑
Evaluation criteria for Open Mouth   dens, atlas, axis, and articulations between the 1st and 2nd cerv vert; entire articular surfaces of atlas/axis; SI occlusal plane of the upper central incissors and the base of the skull  
🗑
