THE ANATOMIC POSITION

A

THE ANATOMIC POSITION
The anatomic position is a reference
position that defines specific surfaces
and planes of the body.

The anatomic position is an upright position
with arms abducted slightly (down), palms
forward, and head and feet directed
straight ahead

Q

Retraction

A

Retraction
a movement backward or
the condition of being
drawn back

34
Q

Circumduction

A

Circumduction
Means to move around
in
the form of a circle
(sequential movements of
flexion, abduction, extension,
and adduction, resulting in a
cone-type movement at any
joint where the four movements
are possible, e.g. fingers, wrist,
arm, leg)

35
Q

Elevation

A

Elevation
Elevation is a lifting,
raising, or moving of a
part superiorly.

36
Q

Depression

A

Depression is a letting
down, lowering, or
moving of a part
Inferiorly

37
Q

Rotation

A

To turn or rotate the body on the X axis
e.g. in the accompanying
figure, the midsagittal plane of
the entire body, including the
head, is rotated

38
Q

Tilt

A

Tilt is a slanting or
tilting movement
with respect to the
long axis.
(e.g. in the accompanying
figure, no rotation of the head
but a tilting/ slanting of the
midsagittal plane of the head,
which therefore is not parallel to
the table top

39
Q

Median Sagittal
Plane:

A

Divides the body into
right and left halves

40
Q

Coronal plane :

A

Divides the body into
anterior and posterior
parts

41
Q

Transverse / Axial plane :

A

Divides the body into
superior and inferior
parts

42
Q

Erect :

A

Patient is seated
or standing

43
Q

Erect postero-
anterior:

A

Patient is seated
or standing with
the anterior
aspect against
the image
receptor

44
Q

Erect antero-
posterior:

A

Patient is seated or
standing with the
posterior aspect
against the IR

45
Q

Erect right/ left
lateral:

A

Patient is seated or
standing with the
right or left side
against the IR

46
Q

Recumbent:

A

Patient is lying
down

47
Q

Supine dorsal recumbent):

A

Patient is lying on
his back (face up

48
Q

ventral recumbent):

A

Patient is lying on his stomach
(face down)

49
Q

lateral recumbent:

A

Patient is lying on his side (right/ left)

50
Q

Semi-recumbent:

A

Patient is positioned partly between supine
and sitting erect with the posterior aspect
against the IR

51
Q

Projection:

A

A description of the
direction of the CR
relative to aspects
and planes of the
body

52
Q

Antero-posterior:

A

The projection of the
central ray (CR) from
anterior to posterior.
This term describes
the direction in which
the CR travel,
entering at the
anterior aspect and
exiting at the
posterior

53
Q

Postero-anterior:

A

The projection of the CR
from posterior to anterior.
The CR enters at the
posterior surface and exits
at the anterior surface (PA).
A true PA without
intentional rotation -
requires the CR to be
perpendicular to the
coronal body plane and
parallel to the sagittal
plane

54
Q

Oblique :

A

Oblique:
The CR passes through
the body along a
transverse plane at a
certain angle between
the median sagittal
plane (MSP) and
coronal plane

55
Q

Anterior oblique:

A

Anterior oblique:
CR enters the
posterior aspect of the
patient and passes
along a transverse
plane at an angle to
the MSP and exits
from the anterior
aspect of the patient

56
Q

Posterior oblique:

A

Posterior oblique:
CR enters the anterior
aspect of the patient
and passes along a
transverse plane at an
angle to the MSP and
exits from the
posterior aspect of the
patient

57
Q

Lateral oblique:

A

Lateral oblique:
“CR enters one lateral
aspect, passes along a
transverse plane at an
angle to the coronal
plane and emerges from
the opposite lateral
aspect

Q

Radiographic image ( projection )

A

Image of an object in the path of an x-ray beam is projected onto a device for capturing the image (IR) - a radiographic image is a projection of the object
a radiographic image is a projection of the object.
