Who did Dr. Pierce Sr. collaborate with in making of the DTG instrument
Stillwagon
What does DTG stand for
Dermo-Thermo-graph
T/F
Increase in Parasympatheic response indicates Hotter readings
True
T/F
Increase in Sympathetic response indicates colder respsonse
True
How many Probes does the DTG have? how many does the Tytron have ?
One for DTG
Two for Tytron
Does the Pierce Results System use pattern or break analysis
pattern
is the tyrton scan time dependent or time sensitive
what about the DTG
Tyrton is time sensitive
DTG is time dependent
what is the ideal skin temperature of the human body
93.5
List some examples of conditions that lead to a bad or altered thermal instrument reading
- smoking
- taking a shower before visit
- exercising before
- heated car seats
What are the five Major listings in the pelvis
- sacrum
- Posterior inferior (PI) Pelvis
- Anterior Superior (AS) Pelvis
- Internal Rotation (IN) of the ilium
- External Rotation (EX) of the ilium
Patient education line starts from the ____ to the middle of ___
- anterior tubercle
- T2
George’s line should be a ____ line on the back of the vertebral bodies
- curved
Atlas angles:
- Inferior(-)
- Inferior
- Normal
- Superior (+)
- Superior (++)
- inferior 18<
- normal 18 - 24
- Superior + 24- 30 mm
- Superior ++ > 30 mm
what is the normal Z angle
45 degrees
what is the normal rang for the z angle
35-55 degrees
what is the z angle determine in an x- ray analysis
(2 things)
determines if the neck can be returned to the actual normal curve .. also determines line of drive for the adjustment of the particular vertebrae
What is the whitehorn’s angle
line at the bottom of the body of the axis
what is considered a 0 degree whitehorns
when the body of the axis is parallel to the floor (normal)
what is considered normal for the axis relating to the whitehorns angle
either body of axis parallel to the floor or slight posterior and inferior
if the odontoid of axis is tilted forward, and the second line is drawn parallel to the floor and touch the most inferior tip of body which is the anterior portion … is this a negative or positive whitehorn’s angle?
Negative
if the odontoid of axis is tilted posterior and the line is drawn with it touching the posterior, inferior tip of the axis of the body … is this a negative or positive whitehorn’s angle
positive
normal whitehorns
positive whitehorns
negative whtehorns
0 degrees
+ 12 degrees
- 12 degrees
T/F
A positive whitehorn’s is associated with a kyphotic neck
False
negative whitehorns- if the angle is formed below the line drawn parallel with the bottom of the film
T/F
A positive whitehorn’s is associated with hyperkyphotic or combination cervical spine
true
if the angle is formed above the parallel line
