False; best demonstrated in the lateral position

False; requires a 5-8 degree caudad angle based off of the patients curvature

72
Q

When performing lateral imaging of the spine, the knees should be perfectly superimposed to prevent rotation. TRUE OR FALSE

73
Q

Seeing the pedicle in the middle of the vertebral body on an oblique lumbar spine image indicates that the zygapophyseal joints are well demonstrated. TRUE OR FALSE

74
Q

The “eye” of the Scotty dog is the pedicle on the side closer to the IR if the patient is in an LPO position. TRUE OR FALSE

75
Q

Why is it important to have the lumbar curve flattened for the AP projection of the L Spine?

A

So that diverging photons can get through the joint space

76
Q

How can you tell from an oblique lumbar spine image if the patient is over or under rotated?

A

By the position of the pedicles
-If the pedicle too anterior=Patient is underrotated
-If the pedicle is too posterior=Patient is overrotated

77
Q

Which zygapophyseal joints are best demonstrated when the patient is in an RPO position of the lumbar spine?

A

The right side

78
Q

Why would a PA Axial projection be preferred when imaging the SI joints bilaterally?

A

The diverging photons line up with the angle of the SI joints while in PA, and saves patient dose by using the back to absorb most photons

79
Q

Is the CP on the dependent or elevated side for imaging of oblique the SI joints?

80
Q

What is the CP direction and angle for the AP Sacrum and AP Coccyx

Use a wedge filter
