What is the CR angulation for an AP projection of the hip?
Perpendicular
(0 degrees)
Where is the bottom of the IR placed for a AP distal Femur?
2” below the knee jt
For the Hughtson method of the patella what is the angle that should be formed between the lower leg and the plane of the table?
50-60 degrees
What part of the femur is shown in profile if the leg is properly internally rotated for an AP hip projection?
Greater trochanter
How is the CR directed for the Lauenstein method of the hip?
Perpendicular
Where is the top of the IR placed for an AP projection of the pelvis?
1- 1 1/2 “ above iliac crest
How and where is the CR directed for an internal oblique position, Judet method of the pelivs?
Perpendicular and entering 2” inferior to the ASIS
How many degrees is your pt obliqued for either the internal or external oblique for the Judet method of the acetabulum?
45 Degrees
How many degrees and in which way should we have our pt rotate their leg for an AP proximal femur?
10-15 degrees internally
How is the CR directed for a female pt when preforming the Taylor method of the anterior pelvic bones?
30-45 degrees cephalad for females
How many degrees do you oblique the knee for either the internal or external oblique projection?
Both 45 degrees
How many degrees is the tube angled posteriorly for the Clements Nakayama projection of the hip?
15 degrees
How is the CR directed for the Bridgeman “inlet” projection of the pelvis?
40 degrees caudal
Unless contraindicated for the axiolateral projection of the hip (Danelius miller method) how far internally should the leg be rotated?
15-20 degrees
Which oblique for the Judet method, would best demonstrate a possible fracture of the iliopubic column and the posterior rim of the acetabulum?
Internal oblique
How many degrees should the knee be flexed for a lateral projection of the knee?
20-30 degrees (shows maximum volume of the joint cavity)
What lateral hip projection should be done if bilateral hip fractures are suspected?
Clements Nakayama
Which anatomical part of the pelvis articulates with the head of the femur?
Acetabulum
When centered properly for an AP pelvis the CR should end up being ______ “ inferior to ASIS, and _____” superior to pubic symphysis?
2 and 2
How and where is the CR directed for a lateral projection of the knee?
5-7 degrees and 1” distal to the medial epicondyle
Where is the CR directed for the modified cleaves projection when doing a bilateral exam of the femur?
1” superior to pubic symphysis
How much of the femur should be visualized on an API projection?
The proximal 1/3
What is the possible SID used for the merchants of view of the patella?
72 inches
Which oblique for the Judette method would best demonstrate a possible fracture of the ilioischial column in the anterior rim of the acetabulum?
External oblique
