What view is this

Swimmers view of the cervical spine

Is this passable

Yes it is (lower cervical spine and upper thoracic spine is visualized)

11

Dens

12

C1-C2 joint space

What image is this

RPO

Is this passable

Yes it is, all 5 vertebrae are included, all z joints are open and SI joint is included but it is slightly over rotated

What is best demonstrated here

Right z joint

15

Pedicle

16

Spinous process

17

t12

Is this passable

Yes it is a passable lateral thoracic spine, the posterior ribs are superimposed, vertebral bodies are square and the intervertebral foramina are round. A swimmers projection would need to be performed to visualize the upper lateral thoracic spine. Both the lateral and the swimmers view would need to be sent

20

Superimposed posterior ribs

Is this image passable?

Yes, this is AP lumbar spine would be possible because T 12 to the sacrum are included, the SI joints are included, there’s no rotation, since the spinous processes are down the middle of the vertebral bodies, in the transverse processes look equal on both sides
