Anatomy Flashcards
Anatomy shown for AP & Lat Distal Femur
Distal two thirds of femur, including knee joint
Anatomy for AP distal femur
no rotation femoral condyles and tibial condyles appear symmetric in size and shape
Positioning for Lat distal femur
True lateral femoral condyles appear to be superimposed
Anatomy for AP Axial Cerv
C3-T1 vertebral bodies, and the intervertebral joints –> C7-T1 (cervicothoracic junct) & C1-C2
Oblique Cervical
C3-T1 seen entirely;
Intervert disc spaces open
C1/C2 zygapophyseal joints seen
Base of Skull superimposes C1 and C2
Lateral cervical anatomy
Base of skull and T1 seen
No rotation - vertical posterior bodies
Rami of mandible not over C1 and C2
Swimmers projection
