Front 1

What are the views for a routine finger?

Back 1

Routine finger is
PA
Oblique
Lateral

Front 2

Where is the CR centered for the Routine finger?
How much of the finger or hand should be included on this exposure?

Back 2

CR @ PIP
include about half of metacarpal

Front 3

What are the views for the Routine hand?

Back 3

The views for the hand are
PA
Oblique
Lateral

Front 4

Where is the CR centered for the the routine hand?

Back 4

CR for hand
PA and Oblique CR @ 3rd MCP
Lateral CR @2nd MCP

Front 5

What fingers are used for the Oblique Finger?
In what direction are they rotated?

Back 5

2nd digit through 5th digit
2nd digit has a medial rotation
For the 3rd digit it doesn't matter if it is medial or lateral
4th-5th digit uses a lateral rotation

Front 6

What is the kV range for the Routine finger, Thumb, Hand, Wrist, forearm, and Elbow? Kv for Humerous?

Back 6

The kV range finger through elbow is between 50-70
For the humerous the kV range is between 75-85

Front 7

What is the rule for shielding on these extremity x-rays?

Back 7

Use it, full shield or half shield, Gonads MUST be shielded

Front 8

For Fingers and Hands, Always keep digits _ to the IR
This prevents _. We want to __ the joint spaces

Back 8

Parallel, Foreshortening
Visualize

Front 9

What are the views for the Routine Wrist?
Where is the CR centered for the Routine Wrist?
Why are the fingers curled on the PA Wrist?

Back 9

For the Routine Wrist Views are
PA
oblique
lateral
Cr @ Mid-Carpals
The fingers are curled on the PA to reduce OID

Front 10

What are the views for the routine thumb?
Where is the CR centered?
For the AP thumb what must be included?

Back 10

The views for thumb are
AP
oblique
lateral
The CR is @ 1st MCP joint

Trapezium must be included

Front 11

For the Special Wrist "Axial" what is the tube angle and where is the CR centered?

Back 11

The Tube angle for the Special Wrist "Axial" is 10-15 degrees proximal
The CR is centered @ Scaphoid

Front 12

For the Special Wrist "Stecher" what is the Tube angle and is there pt elevation? Where is the CR centered?
What is the special request?

Back 12

For The "Stecher" Tube angle there is none, angle tube straight down.
The pt hand is elevated at 20 degrees ( preferably with a sponge)
The CR is @ Scaphoid
*If the pt can do an Ulnar deviation GREAT, if not then its ok.

Front 13

For the Special Wrist "Gaynor-Hart" method, what is the tube Angle and CR? Is there any special instruction?

Back 13

For the "Gaynor-Hart" method the

tube angle is angled 25-30 degrees to the long axis of the hand

CR is @ 1 inch distal to the base of the 3rd metacarpal

* Hand is rotated 10 degrees internally to prevent superimposition of the hamate and pisiform

Front 14

What is the pathology that is examined during the Special Wrist "Gaynor-Hart" ?

Back 14

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Front 15

What are the views for the routine Forearm? Where is the CR centered?

Back 15

The views for Routine Forearm are
AP
Lateral

Front 16

What are the views for the Routine Elbow? Where is the CR centered?

Back 16

The routine Elbow
AP
AP oblique External (lateral)
AP oblique Internal (medial)
Lateral

Cr @ mid-elbow

Front 17

For the routine elbow, what does the views demonstrate?

Back 17

Demonstrations for the routine elbow
AP oblique External- Capitulum, rad head, rad neck, rad tuberosity

Ap oblique Internal - Coranoid process and trochlea

Lateral- Olecranon process

Front 18

For the Special Elbow AP when elbow cannot be fully extended, where is the CR centered?

Back 18

Special Elbow AP when elbow cannot be extended the CR @ mid-elbow joint

Front 19

For the Special elbow "Coyle" method where is the CR centered?`

Back 19

For the "Coyle" method the CR is perpendicular to the IR and is directed to Radial Head.

Front 20

What routine procedures are done to check
Fractures and dislocations of the distal and proximal and middle phanlanges; distal metalcarpals; and associated joints? The routines also check for osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.

Back 20

The Routine Fingers, Routine Thumb and Routine Hand

Front 21

What routine checks for fractures of the distal Radius/Ulna, Fractures of the radial or ulnar styloid processes, and fractures of individual carpal bones? The routine checks for Osteomyelitis and arthritis.

Back 21

The Routine Wrist, The Routine Forearm, The routine Elbow

Front 22

What routine checks for fracture and disloctation of the humerous? This routine checks for Osteoporosis.
