A

Spina bífida

18
Q

Which region of the spine is the most common site of pathologic compression fractures of vertebral bodies due to osteoporosis in elderly women

A

Thoracic region

19
Q

Which of the following conditions Is demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography but is not normally seen on routine radiography

A

Disk herniation

20
Q

List section of the spine and state the number of vertebrae or vertebral segments in each

A

Cervical spine 7 vertebrae
Thoracic spine 12 vertebrae
Lumbar spine 5. Vertebrae
Sacrum 5 segment
Coccyx 4 segment

21
Q

Which spinal segment have a Kyphotic curve and which have a lordotic curve

A

Cervical and lumbar spine have Lordotic curve
Thoracic spine has kyphotic curve
Sacrum and coccyx together form kyphotic curve

22
Q

How do the Atlas and axis differ from the other cervical vertebrae

A

Atlas has no body superior articular process are at a different angle from superior articular process of her cervical vertebrae. Axis has a superior projection from the body called dens
Atlas is capable of rotation on the axis greater that other vertebrae

28
Q

An ap projection of the upper cervical spine is unsatisfactory because the patient upper teeth are superimposed over the atlas and the dens . How should u adjust the position for satisfactory radiograph
