Final Review Sheet Flashcards
Cervical routine series
- Lateral
- APOM
- AP Cervical Spine
Cervical Trauma series (in order)
-Lateral
-APOM
-AP Cervical Spine
-Obliques
-Flexion/Extension
(done in order because it is least invasive to most invasive yielding the most information)
Cervical SID
72” for all except:
-APOM
-AP C spine
(both at 40”)
Cervical Collimation
8x10 for all except:
- APOM = collimate below the orbits and into mastoids
- Flex/Ext = leave open to 10x12
Cervical Tube tilt
AO = 15 degree caudal
PO = 15 degree cephalic
AP C-spine = 15 degree cephalic
Cervical Breathing instructions
Exhale and hold (best for all but for AP and APOM you can use don’t breathe don’t move)
Cervical RAO/LPO all us to see what anatomic features?
Right IVFs
LAO/RPO = Left IVFs
CR entrances and exits for PUC series
- Lateral = C1
- Nasium = Must exit inferior tip of mastoid
- Base Posterior = Enter behind chin exit top of head
- Vertex = Enter top of head and exit just behind chin
The ______ film is used to get the degree of tube tilt needed for the Nasium
Lateral
PUC orbital filtration
All except
- AP C spine
- Lateral
PUC collimation
8x10 for all except:
-Lateral = 10x12 (or collimate a tad side to side to keep the eyes out of the light)
___________ is included in the PUC series to complete it and to check for pathology.
AP Cervical spine
-Done same as in the Sectional Series
PUC Bucky Tilts
APOM, Nasium use a slight bucky tilt just enough to touch the back of patients head and shoulders
Base-Posterior and Vertex = 45 degree bucky tilt
Thoracic series
- > 50
- > 60
AP Thoracic Spine and Lateral
- > 50 = add PA chest
- > 60 = add PA chest and Left Lateral Chest
Thoracic filtration
AP = filter top down Lateral = filter bottom up
Thoracic SID
40” for all
Thoracic collimation
- AP = 7x17
- Lateral = 10x17
Breathing instructions Thoracic
Inhale and hold
Thoracic film placement
1.5” above VP
Rib views are done in accordance to:
- Patients injury and location of it
- Unilateral or bilateral
- Above diaphragm or below diaphragm
- PA chest X-ray (rules out Pneumothorax)
T/F Always do anterior rib obliques
FALSE.
Always do Posterior Rib Obliques
Breathing instructions for ribs
AD = inhale and hold BD = exhale and hold
Film placement for ribs
Unilateral
1) AD = 1.5” above VP
2) BD = bottom of film at crest
Bilateral
1) AD = just above shoulders
2) BD = bottom of film at crest
Lumbar APLP CR placement for men and women
Men = 2" below crest Women = 1" below crest
Lateral Lumbar CR placement
1” above crest on midline
Lateral Anterior Oblique CR placement
1” above crest and lateral to spine on side up
L5/S1 Lumbar CR placement
2-3” below crest just behind midline
AP Sacrum CR placement
Mid pelvis
Lateral Sacrum CR placement
3” below crest and just behind greater trochanter
Lumbar Tube Tilts
AP Sacrum = 15 degree cephalic
AP Coccyx = 10 degree caudal
Lumbar LAO/RPO allows us to look at what anatomy?
Right Pars
RAO/LPO = Left pars
Lumbar series collimations
APLP = 14x17 Lateral = 10x17 L5S1 = 8x10 AP sacrum = 10x12 Coccyx = 4x4
