Q
Radiography of the Cranium
Conventional Procedures:
A
- PA Projection
2. Lateral Projection
2
Q
Cranium (PA proj)
- Patient position
- part position
- MSP position
- base line included and its position
- RP and exit point
A
- prone
- nose and forehead in contact with the RT
- MSP perp. to the MLL of RT
- OML perp. to the RT
- nasion
3
Q
Cranium (Lat. proj.)
- pt position
- part positon
- MSP position
- base line position
- RP
A
- semi-prone
- head in true lat. position
- MSP parallel with the RT
- IOML parallel with the transverse axis of RT
- 2” above eam
4
Q
rad of cranial base
conventional projections
A
- Submentovertical proj (Schuller method)
2. Axiolat Proj (Lysholm method)
5
Q
Cranial base SMV (schuller method) 1. pt position 2. part position 3. MSP position 4. base line position 5. RP
A
- supine
- head/neck hyperextended
- MSP perp./coincide with the MLART
- IOML nearly parallel-RT
- 3/4” anterior to both eam (sella turcica lvl)
6
Q
Cranial base axiolat proj (lysholm method) 1. "\_\_\_ " with lat. of cranium, except: 2. CRD angulation 3. RP/exit pt 4. examination type
A
- “same”
- 30-35 degrees caudal
- 1” distal to the dep. eam
- bilateral
7
Q
rad of sella turcica
conventional projections
A
- Valdini method
2. Lateral proj.
8
Q
Sella turcica valdini method 1. pt position 2. part position 3. MSP position 4. base line 5. RP/exit pt
A
- prone
- head/neck coincide with the MLART; neck hyperflexion to place bregma in contact with the RT
- MSP coincide with the MLART
- IOML-50 degrees away from RT
- 0.5 cm distal to nasion
9
Q
Sella turcica Lat. proj. 1. "\_\_\_" with lat. proj. of cranium, except: 2. beam is \_\_\_\_ down to prevent... 3. \_\_\_\_\_\_ of.... 4. \_\_\_\_\_\_. 5. examination type
A
- same
- coned
- distortion
- sella turcica
- 3/4” anterior and above elevated eam
- bilateral
10
Q
rad of foramen magnum
conventional projections:
A
- Grashey method
11
Q
foramen magnum Grashey method 1. similar with \_\_\_\_\_ method of the cranium 2. base line 3. tube angulation 4. entrance point 5. exit point
A
- towne’s
- OML or IOML perp. to the RT’s surface
- depends on the base line
a. IOML-37 degrees-caudal
b. OML-30 degrees-caudal - 2-3” from glabella
- foramen magnum
12
Q
rad of orbits
conventional projections:
A
- Water’s method (parieto acanthial proj)
2. Lateral Proj.
13
Q
Orbits Water's method (parieto acanthial proj.) 1. pt position 2. part position 3. MSP position 4. baseline 5. RP
A
- prone
- head coincides with the mlart
- MSP coincide with the mlart
- OML-37 degrees from the rt surface
- level of acanthion
14
Q
rad of orbits
Lateral proj.
1. same with lateral proj. of the “____”, except:
2. part position
A
- cranium
2. dep OCE placed perpendicular to the mlart
15
Q
Rad of optic foramen
conventional procedures:
A
- Water’s method
2. True rhese method
