A. No grid

B. Center Cell AEC

C. 40-44in SID

D. 70-80 kVp

A. Nongrid

What modality is used for soft tissue pathologies like rotator cuffs tears and uses contrast medium injected into the joint capsule

Arthography

What modality is used for shoulder to evaluate soft tissue and skeletal involvement of lesions and soft tissue injuries.

CT and MR

What modality is great for determining the extent of a fracture

Sectional CT

What modality, with or without contrast is useful in diagnosis of rotator cuff injuries

MRI

What modality is preformed instead of or in conjunction with convential arthography

CT arthography

What modality is useful to determine osteomyelitis, metastatic bone lesions, and cellulitis. It demonstrates pathology within 24 hours of onset. Its more sensitive than radiography bc it assesses the physiologic aspect instead of anatomical aspect

Nuclear Medicine

What modality is useful for musculoskeletal imaging of joints to evaluate soft tissues within the joint for possible rotator cuff tears, bursa injuries, or disruption and damage to nerve, tendons, or ligaments. It allows for more dynamic evaluation during joint movement
