Low mA

What type of mA do you need for a RAO position sternum

Patient rotation for a RAO SC joint

Right and left

Which lateral is correct for a lateral sternum

Right , left

An rao sc joint projection best demonstrates the right/left SC joint in the right/left lung field

15–20 degrees right

Which side and how much rotation for an oblique sternum

75-85

What’s the KV on the sternum and ribs bony thorax radiographs

To shift the sternum to the left of the vertebral column and superimpose over the homogeneous heart shadow

Why do we do a 15 to 20 RAO on the sternum

1 ½

In the RAO sternum you place top of IR approximately how many inches superior to the jug notch

center of sternum 1 inch to the left of midline and midway between the jug, notch and xiphoid process

What’s the CR on the RAO sternum?

Long and narrow

What’s the recommended calculation on a sternum RAO

Orthostatic

Respiration on an RAO sternum

Suspend respiration on expiration

If breathing technique is not possible on an RAO sternum what other respiration

Placing one hand on the sternum and the other on those spinous processes

What’s a trick to figure out how to do the amount of required rotation on a RAO sternum

LPO

What’s a trauma position that is permitted on an RAO Stumm for adaptation if the patient cannot do the RAO

15 to 20 Degrees across the right side

If a patient cannot be rotated and oblique image may be obtained by angling the CR for a sternum oblique would be

Heart shadow

On a RAO position sternum, the sternum is super imposed with what

10 × 12

The field Size of both sternum are

MSP

On the lateral sternum, what’s parallel to the IR?

Suspend respiration on inspiration

Breathing instructions on the lateral sternum

Horizontal and parallel to the IR

If patient is recumbent on a lateral sternum, then how is the sternum placed with the IR?

Horizontal Beam

What type of beam is the lateral sternum If patient is supine for adaptation?

Center to MSP at level of T2 T3 / 3 inches distal to c7

What’s the CR for SC joints PA projection

Suspend on expiration

Breathing extractions on the SC joints, PA project

Bilaterally

How are the SC joints open on the SC joints PA projection

Joint subluxation

Clinical indication for the SC joints

Downside, SC joints

For the anterior oblique positions, RAO and LAO SC joints what are we best visualizing?

Landscape

Is the SC joints, landscape or portrait?

T2–T3

What level are the SC joints located?

Level of T2 – T3 located 3 inches distal to C7 and 1 to 2 inches lateral to MSP

What’s the CR on the anterior oblique SC joints?

Suspend on expiration

Respiration on anterior oblique SC joints

Will rotate SC joints across the spine to the opposite lung field, demonstrating the downside SC joint

Explain why we do a 10 to 15 Degrees rotation in a anterior oblique position on what we do on the SC joint

Will be visualized next to the vertebral column

If you do a less oblique on SC oblique positions like a 5 to 10° what will happen to the SC joints

Foreshortened

Will, the SC joint on the upside of the obliques will be foreshortened or enlarged

Yes, a 10 to 15 rotation away from the side of interest with 1 to 2 inches lateral to MSP

Can you do a posterior oblique instead of a anterior oblique for the SC joints if the patient condition requires this (adaptation)

Less

Does the upper ribs require less KV or more KV than the lower ribs?

Bilateral or unilateral

What type of study are the AP projection ribs above or below diaphragm posterior?

Center to MSP at level of T7 located 3 or 4 inches below jug notch

What’s the CR for the below diaphragm Posterior ribs, AP projection

Suspend respiration on deep inspiration (above) Full expiration (below)

What’s the breathing technique on the AP bilat or unilat posterior ribs

1-9 should be visualized (1-8 if pt can Take a deep breath)
