Week 1- General Anatomy, Osteology, Body Positions/ Anatomic Relationship Flashcards
Terminology Anatomic Relationship- Caudad (caudal)
Terminology Anatomic Relationship- Caudad (caudal)
angling x-ray tube away from head
Terminology Anatomic Relationship- Cephalad (cephalic)
angling tube towards head
Body Planes - Dorsum (dorsum pedis)
Top or anterior surface of feet
Body Planes- Plantar Surface
Soles of feet
Terminology anatomic relationship - Contralateral
Parts of the opp side of the body
Terminology anatomic relationship- Palmar
Palm of the hand
Terminology anatomic relationship - Visceral
Covering organ
Positioning Terms- Projection: AP
CR nnters pt from Ant to Post
Positioning Terms- Projection: AP
CR enters pt from Ant to Post
Positioning Terms- Projection: PA Proj
CR enters pt from Post to Ant
Positioning Terms- Axial Projection
Angulation of the beam to the longitudinal aspect, usually cephalic or caudal
Positioning Terms- Projection: Tangential
Beam directed to outer margin of a curved surface, producing a skimming of part in quesiton
Positioning Terms- Projection: Tangential
Beam directed to outer margin of a curved surface, producing a skimming of part in question
Positioning Terms- Projection: Lateral
90 degree; think mugshot
Positioning Terms- Projection: Oblique
Enters body at an angle of the body; midway shot between an AP and a lateral
Positioning Terms- Recumbent
Lying down in any position
Positioning Terms: Trendelenberg
Supine w/ head lower than feet
Positioning Terms: Fowler
Supine w/ feet lower than head
Positioning Terms: Sims
Recumbent, semi-prone; left leg extended and right leg and hip partially flexed
Positioning Terms: Fowler
Supine w/ feet lower than head (Think F, for Feet, is lower than head)
Positioning Terms: Sims
Recumbent, semi-prone; left leg extended and right leg and hip partially flexed
Positioning Terms: Lithotomy
Supine, Knees and Hip Flexed w/ thighs
Positioning Terms: Decubitus
Pt. lays down and beam is parallel to the floor
Positioning Terms: Lateral Decubitus
Pt. lays on either side and beam is parallel to the floor
Terminology anatomic relationship- Palmar
Palm of the hand
Positioning Terms: Ventral Decubitus
Pt lays on stomach and beam enters either side of body
Positioning Terms: View:
This describes the body part as seen by the IR; this term is only used when referring to a FINISHED RADIOGRAPH
Purpose of decubitus
- looking for air/fluid levels (area of interest is the side that is up on film)
- Ex: left lateral means the left side is down . (right side would be used for marker)
Terminology anatomic relationship- Palmar
Palm of the hand
