Question 1

Mandibular pre-molars and molars

Answer 1

Animal Position: Lateral with the affected side up
Film position: Intraoral, pushed far into the mouth and tucked alongside the tongue
Angle: Parallel angle

Question 2

Barium VD

Answer 2

Animal position: Dorsal
Measure: 2 finger widths caudal to the 13th rib
Borders: T7 to femoral head
Notes: ensure the spine and sternum are superimposed

Question 3

PennHIP Extended

Answer 3

Animal position: Dorsal with hind legs pulled caudally and rotated medially
Measure: over acetabula
Notes: femurs are extended, parallel and symmetrical

Question 4

Maxillary Pre-molars and molars

Answer 4

Animal position: Ventral
Film position: intraoral, pushed far into mouth alongside the tongue
Angle: Bisecting angle and SLOB if the tooth is 3-rooted

Question 5

Mandibular incisors

Answer 5

Patient position: Dorsal
Film position: Intraoral, rostral end, parallel to hard palate
Angle: Bisecting angle

Question 6

Mandibular canines

Answer 6

Patient position: dorsal
Film position: intra oral, rostral end, parallel to hard palate
Angle: bisecting angle, centered on Incisor #3

Question 7

Maxillary canines

Answer 7

Patient position: ventral
Film position: Intraoral, rostral end, parallel to hard palate
Angle: bisecting angle, centered on Incisor #3

Question 8

Barium Lateral

Answer 8

Animal position: Lateral
Measure: 2 finger widths caudal to the 13th rib
Borders: T7 to Femoral head
Notes: ensure transverse vertebrae are superimposed

Question 9

Maxillary incisors

Answer 9

Patient position: Ventral
Film position: Intraoral, rostral end, parallel to hard palate
Angle: bisecting angle

Question 10

PennHIP Distraction

Answer 10

Animal position: Dorsal. Hind legs are held up so that the tibias are parallel to the table. Stifles are parallel to each other. Femurs are parallel to each other, but perpendicular to the table.
Measure: Over acetabula
Notes: Distractor rods are spread approximately the same distance as the femoral heads and placed within them. The legs are rotated medially

Question 11

PennHIP Compression

Answer 11

Animal position: Dorsal. Hind legs are held up so tibias are parallel to the table. Stifles are parallel to each other. Femurs are parallel to each other, but perpendicular to the table. Legs are pulled slightly apart.
Measure: Over acetabula
Notes: Weight is applied to each side to put pressure on the greater trochanters
