Midterm Flashcards
For All Elbow Projections the image should be viewed as if the arm was …
Down
Clinical Indications: Fractures, dislocation, Osteomyelitis and Arthritis.
Setup for all elbow projections: Where should the CR be directed to?
Midelbow Joint
For AP Elbow setup in order to get a true AP Projection the patient should extend elbow, supinate hand, and align arm with the long axis of the IR. The patient should also hold that position and lean…
Laterally
AP Elbow Collimation:
3 inches proximal and distal to the elbow joint, and 1 inch on the sides.
AP Elbow Anatomy
Distal Humerus, Elbow Joint Space, Proximal Radius and Ulna, No rotation and superimposition of epicondyles.
AP Lateral Oblique Elbow (External Rotation): Supinate hand, rotate arm entire arm laterally, elbow joint should be 45 degrees to IR.
A lateral (External Rotation) oblique should best show proximal radius and… of the humerus free of the Ulna
Capitulum
AP Medial Oblique: Hand prone, internal rotation of elbow medially 45 degrees
Shows what in profile?
Ulna, Coronoid Process, Olecranon Process and Fossa
Lateromedial Elbow: Image receptor length wise viewed landscape as if the arm was…
Down
Lateromedial Elbow: Patient seated, Elbow flexed..
90 degrees
Lateromedial Collimation
3 inches proximal and distal
Lateromedial Elbow: Should show what kind of view of the humerus and proximal forearm?
Lateral
For AP and AP Oblique Elbow: The Image receptor should be a 10x12 Cassette Non Grid in what orientation?
Lengthwise
AP Humerus: Affected side as needed to bring shoulder and proximal humerus in contact with cassette.. Where do the epicondyles have to be as it pertains to the IR?
Epicondyles parallel to Ir
Respiration for AP and Lateral Humerus
Suspended
AP Projection of humerus (External Rotation): What shows in profile?
Greater Tuberacle
