Radiography

Process and procedures of producing a radiograph.

Radiograph

Image of patients’ anatomic part(s) produced by x-rays on an image receptor (recording medium and the image.)

Image Receptor (IR)

Device responding to ionizing radiation to create the image after exiting patient.

Central Ray (CR)

Centermost portion of x-ray beam emitted from x-ray tube. (has least divergence)

If the radiograph is produced with use of traditional film-screen analog, the image is captured and displayed on…

Film is displayed with this

If the radiograph is produced via digital technology, the image is viewed and stored on…

The image is stored on Display monitors

What is the position used for imaging?

Anatomic Position

What is the green plane called?

Sagittal Plane (midsagittal, median) left/right parts

What is the purple plane called?

Coronal (midcoronal) Anterior/Posterior

What is the blue plane called?

Horizontal (axial) transverse plain passing through right angles to a longitudinal plane (separates top and bottom)

What is the orange plane called?

Oblique, longitudinal/transverse at an angle near the chest region.

Body Planes

Positioning terms describing CR angles or relation.

What do you call THE BOTTOM of the foot?

Plantar surface of foot

What is THIS SIDE of the body called?

Anterior

What do you call THE TOP of the foot?

Dorsum (dorsum pedis)

What is THIS SIDE of the body called?

Posterior

Which body plane is shown?

Midsagittal (sagittal) plane

Dorsal side of hand (dorsal manus)

Back of the hand, posterior

Palmar side of hand

Palm of hand is up and flat

Flexion

Bending movement of a joint that decreases the angle between the bones.

Extension

Increases the angle between the body and joints, straighten the limb.

Hyperextension

Excessive straightening/movement of a joint beyond anatomical limit

Extension

Movement increasing angle between 2 body parts or straightens a joint.

Flexion

Bending a joint to decrease the angle between 2 body parts.

Ulna

Longer Bone in your forearm on the medial (pinkie-finger) side.

Radius

Shorter bone in your forearm on the lateral (thumb) side.

Ulnar Deviation

Movement of bending your wrist sideways towards pinky finger.

Radical Deviation

Movement of bending your wrist sideways towards thumb.

Dorsiflexion

Lifting your toes upward towards your shin.

Plantar Flexion

Bending your foot downward, away from your shin.

Eversion Valgus

forced outward from midline

Inversion Varus

forced inward toward midline

Medial Rotation

movement of a bone/limb inwards towards the body

Lateral Rotation

Movement of a distal end of bone/limb away from the midline of body

Abduction

Arm goes up and away from the body

Adduction

Arm goes down and toward the body

Elevation

Shoulders shrugged up
