Head Flashcards
As a technologist if you choose to angle the tube 30 degrees caudad for an AP Axial Projection:
OML perpendicular
As a technologist if you choose to angle the tube 37 degrees caudad for and AP axial projection:
IOML perpendicular
A patient has trauma to the anterior surface of the ribs, what should you do as the technologist?
PA projection
Put the surface in contact with IR
If you want to best demonstrate the best detail of the clavicle?
Put them in the PA projection and put the surface in contact with the IR.
Which of the following projections should the longitudinal arch of the foot be performed routinely?
Latero-medial Projection
If a patient has a sinus headache:
Ask them “what side are you hearting on?”
Put that side in contact with the IR.
When you do an AP axial projection, what bone of the bone is in contact with the IR?
Occipital Bone
Occipital Positon
As an operator if you choose to use 30-37 degrees what is best demonstrated?
Project the dosum sallae and the posterior clinoid directly through the foramen magnum
If the patient is lying down on their left ear the MSP is:
parallel to the IR/table
If the patient is lying down on their left ear the IP is:
perpendicular to the IR/table
For a lateral skull the CR enters:
5 cm superior to the EAM
PA axial projection CR directed:
15 degrees caudad to exit the nasion
Ap axial projection CR directed:
30 degrees caudad to OML
37 degrees caudad to IOML
MSP 5-8 cm superior to the superciliary ridge
In the PA axial projection where can you find the petrous ridges?
In the lower third (1/3) of the orbits
PA projection:
Nose and Forehead in contact
OML perpendicular
Petrous ridges completely fill the orbit
In the PA projection where can you find the petrous ridges?
completely fill the orbit
The patient is old and can not lean the head all the way back for an SMV, CR is directed:
unspecified cephalic angle to the tube, IOML
