PA Hand
|
PA carpals, metacarpals, phalanges and their articulations. Provides obl proj of thumb.
|
|
|
Lat Hand (Extension)
|
Superimposed carpals, metacarpals, phalanges and their articulations. Decrease 10 kV for foreign body.
|
|
|
Lat Hand (Flexion)
|
Superimposed carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, and their articulations. Shows ant/post fx displacement.
|
|
|
Oblique Hand
|
Obl proj carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, and their articulations; use of a "finger sponge" places jts parallel to IR and opens jt spaces.
|
|
|
Thumb (AP, PA, Lat)
|
AP, PA, or lat proj of first digit. 3 articulations should be seen: CMC, MPJ, IPJ.
|
|
|
PA Wrist
|
PA carpals, prox region metacarpals, dist radius and ulna.
Flexion of MPJs reduces OID. |
|
|
Lat Wrist
|
Lat Carpals, superimposed prox metacarpals and dist radius and ulna.
|
|
|
PA (semi-pronation) Obl
|
Useful for scaphoid, and other lateral carpals (trapezium and trapezoid) and their interspaces.
|
|
|
AP (semi-supination) Obl
|
Useful for pisiform, region triquetrum, and hamate medial carpals and their interspaces.
|
|
|
Ulnar Flexion/Deviation
|
Scaphoid and other lat carpal interspaces; reduces foreshortening of navicular.
|
|
|
Radial Flexion/Deviation
|
Medial carpal interspaces.
|
|
|
Scaphoid
Forearm (a) pronated or (b) pronated and elevated 20 degrees |
Scaphoid w/o foreshortening and self-superimposition.
|
|
|
Carpal canal (Gaynor Hart)
|
Carpal canal; trapezium, scaphoid, capitate, triquetrum, pisiform.
|
|
|
AP Forearm
|
AP radius and ulna, including wrist and elbow joints
|
|
|
Lat Forearm
|
Radius and ulna superimposed distally, lateral proj of radius and ulna, elbow and wrist joints
|
|
|
AP elbow
|
AP elbow jt, prox radius and ulna, distal humerus; radial head and tuberosity partially superimposed on ulna.
|
|
|
Lat elbow
|
Lat elbow jt, prox radius, and ulna and distal humerus; radial head partially superimposed on ulna; olecranon process in profile
|
|
|
Internal (medial) obl elbow
|
obl elbow jt; coronoid process in profile
|
|
|
external (lat) obl
|
obl elbow jt; radial head, neck, and tuberosity free from superimposition of ulna
|
|
|
ap humerus
|
ap humerus, includes shoulder and elbow jts; greatertubercle in profile; epicondyles parallel to ir
|
|
|
lat humerus
|
lateral humerus including shoulder and elbow jts; lesser tubercle in profile; epicondyles superimposed
|
|
|
ap shoulder
arm extended and supinated with epicondyles parallel to ir |
external rotation: true ap humerus, shows greater tubercle in profile
|
|
|
ap shoulder
arm extended and palm against thigh, epicondyles 45 to ir |
neutral position: good for calcific deposits, trauma
|
|
|
ap shoulder
arm extended and elbow slightly flexed, back of hand against thigh |
internal rotation: lateral humerus, shows lesser tubercle in profile
|
|
|
posterior oblique shoulder
grashey method |
glenohumeral jt and glenoid cavity
|
|
|
transthoracic lateral
|
lateral shoulder and prox humerus through thorax
|
|
|
pa obl
scapular y |
oblique shoulder; especially good for demonstration of dislocations
|
|
|
pa or ap clavicle
|
entire length of clavicle and articulations, best done pa erect or ap recumbent for patient comfort
|
|
|
ap or pa axial clavicle
ap (25-30 angle cephalad) pa (25-30 angle caudad) |
axial proj of clavicle; can demonstrate fractures not seen in direct pa or ap
|
|
|
ac joints
w and wo weights |
ap/pa proj of ac jt and soft tissues; demonstrates dislocation/separation when performed erect
|
|
|
ap scapula
|
ap scapula with lateral portion away from ribs; exposure may be made during quiet breathing to blur lung markings
|
|
|
lat scapula
erect pa 45-60 (obl w/affected side toward ir and (1) arm across chest for acromion and coracoid |
lat scapula, acromion and coracoid processes
