How is the CR centered and aligned in relation to the sternum for an AP port proj of the chest?
|
Centered 3 to 4 in below jugular notch, angled caudad so as to be perpendicular to the sternum
|
|
|
T/F: Focused grids are recommended for mobile chest projections?
|
F, No cause of possible grid cut off
|
|
|
What specific position should be performed to demo a possible pneumothorax in the left lung for a patient who can't stand or sit erect?
|
Right Lateral Decub
|
|
|
Which position can be used to replace the RAO of the sternum for the patient who can't lie prone on the table but can be rotated into a semi-supine position?
|
15 to 20 degrees LPO
|
|
|
How must the grid be aligned to prevent gird cutoff when angling the CR mediolaterally for an oblique proj. of the sternum when the patient can't be rotated or moved at all from the supine position?
|
Crosswise
|
|
|
Other than the straight AP, what other proj, of the ribs can be taken for the supine immobile patient who can't be rotated into an oblique position?
|
30 to 40 degree cross-angled mediolateral proj.
|
|
|
Which one of the following positions or proj. will demo free intraabdominal air on the patient who can't stand or sit erect?
|
Left Lateral Decub
|
|
|
Which on of the following proj. of the abdomen will most effectively demo a possible abdominal aortic aneurysm?
|
Dorsal Decub
|
|
|
Which proj. are taken for a postreduction (casted) study of the wrist?
|
PA and Lateral
|
|
|
T/F: A PA horizontal beam proj. of the elbow can be taken for a pt with multiple injuries.
|
T
|
|
|
T/F: For a trauma lateral proj. of the elbow, the CR must be kept parallel to the interepicondylar plane.
|
T
|
|
|
How much CR angulation should be used for an AP axial proj. of the clavicle on a hypersthenic patient?
|
15 degree
|
|
|
A scapular "Y" proj. taken AP for a trauma pt. usually requires a _____ degree rotation of the body away from the IR.
|
25 to 30 degrees
|
|
|
To ensure that the joints are open for an AP proj. of the foot, how is the CR aligned?
|
10 degrees posteriorly from perpendicular to plantar surface
|
|
|
A pt with a possible dislocation of the patella enters the emergency room. What type of positioning routine should be done to demo the patella?
|
AP and horizontal lateral of knee with no flexion.
|
|
|
A pt with a possible fracture of the proximal tibia and fibula enters the ER. The basic AP and Lat are inconclusive. Because of pain the pt can rotate leg from AP position. What position or proj. could give an unobstructed view of fibular head and neck?
|
45 degree lateromedial cross-angle AP proj. of the knee and proximal tibia/fibula.
|
|
|
Which one of the following positions would be performed on a trauma pt to provide a lateral view of the proximal femur?
|
Denelius-Miller Method
|
|
|
How must the IR and grid be positioned for the inferosuperior (axiolateral) proj. for the hip?
|
Parallel to the femoral neck and perpendicular to the CR
|
|
|
A pt with a possible C2 fracture enters the ER on backboard. AP doesn't demo C2. Pt can't open mouth due to mandible fracture. Which proj can view the space?
|
35 to 40 degree cephalad axial proj
|
|
|
Which proj will best demo (with only minimal distortion) the pedicles of the cervical spine on a severely injured patient?
|
AP axial trauma oblique projections
|
|
|
Identify the two CR angles of the AP axial trauma oblique projections of the cervical spine:
A. B. |
A. 45 Medial
B. 15 Cephalad |
|
|
T/F: A grid must be used with the AP axial trauma oblique proj. for the cervical spine to reduce scatter radiation reaching the IR.
|
F. A grid can be used for this proj due to the double angulation
|
|
|
A patient with a Monteggia fracture enters the ER. Which one of the following positioning routines should be performed?
|
PA or AP and Horizontal beam lateral forearm
|
|
|
A pt with a possible Pott fracture enters the ER. Which position routine must be performed?
|
AP and Horizontal Beam Lateral Lower Leg
|
|
|
A pt is struck directly on the patella with a heavy object. The resultant fracture would most likely be a:
|
Stellate Fracture
|
