Question 8

IR size for superoinferior axial shoulder view and what is the special pre exposure pt instruction?

Answer 8

8x10 CW no bucky

suspended respiration

Question 9

Answer 9

10X12 LW bucky

Question 10

IR size for clavicle views

Answer 10

10X12 CW bucky

Question 11

IR size for scapula views

Answer 11

10x12 lw b

Question 12

For clavicle views, where should CR be at?

Answer 12

midclavicle, between jugular notch and AC joint.

Question 13

where should CR be for superoinferior axial shoulder?

Answer 13

5-15 degree toward elbow, pointed at the shoulder joint

Question 14

When shooting AP shoulder, where should CR be directed?

Answer 14

1” inferior to coracoid process

Question 15

In humerus views, where is the CR directed at?

Answer 15

at midpoint of the humerus

Question 16

where should the CR be for the AP scapula view? what is the pre exposure instruction?

Answer 16

2” inferior to the Coracoid process, slow breathing

Question 17

why is the opposite hand necessary to grasp the opposite shoulder in the lateral scapula view?

Answer 17

you need to isolate the humerus from scapula

Question 18

how do you avoid getting Zero?

Answer 18

Perform the correct views, make sure the CR is in-line with the IR, and make sure the CR is at the correct angle, unless specified

Question 19

angle on the PA ulna deviation?

Answer 19

10-15 toward elbow

Question 20

angle on the Axial Clavicle?

Answer 20

15-30

Question 21

angle on the SI axial shoulder?

Answer 21

5-15 toward elbow

Question 22

AP forearm:

PT position, Part Position

Answer 22

PT position = seated, entire arm on one horizontal plane

Part Position= arm is supinated, true AP is epicondyles and styloid process being parallel to the IR

Question 23

AP shoulder (internal Rotation):
PT position, Part position, Pre exposure instruction, center of IR?

Answer 23

PT position = erect, position the shoulder to be x ray against the bucky.
Part position = arm is a little bit abducted and then internally rotated (back of hand touching thigh), epicondyles are perpendicular to IR
CR = pointed towards scap-humerus joint, 1” below coracoid process

Question 24

How would you position PT in superoinferior axial shoulder?

Answer 24

PT is seated, using the 8x10 CW no bucky IR, have PT place the elbow on the table passed the IR bent at 90 degree. Set the tube angle at 5-15 degree toward the ELBOW, aiming at the shoulder joint. Check to make sure the PT shoulder is in one plane with the body part (no slouching)

Question 25

How do you set up for a PA scap Y view?

Answer 25

PT is erected, with the affected side against the bucky. once there, adjust IR. with 10x12 LW, measure the 2” from the pt’s acro-clav joint and adjust the IR to match the height as necessary. Then lower the laser to the center of IR then begin moving pt as necessary. CR should be at the center of scap, with the acro-clav and superior portion of scap perpendicular to the bucky.

Question 26

of all erected routines, which ones require pt to suspend INSPIRATION? and which one is slow breathing?

Answer 26

AP clavicle, AP Axial clavicle

AP Scapula

Question 27

Overall, when performing x ray, what should be done to minimize magnification/decrease OID?

Answer 27

make sure the part is touching the IR or bucky if possible.
