  • knee flexed

  • place firm support under body to elevate 2 to 3 inches

  • raise arms over head or our of anatomy of interest

  • protect patient from rolling off bed

New cards
5

CR for AP/PA Lateral Decub

  • horizontal and perpendicular to IR

  • enters approx. 3 inches below jugular notch at level of T7

New cards
6

Structures shown in AP/PA Chest Lateral Decubs

  • anatomy of the thorax

  • entire lung fields

  • air or fluid levels if present

New cards
7

Part Position of AP Abdomen

  • place IR under body centered to MSP and level of iliac crests

  • if upper abdomen of interest, center IR 2 inches above iliac crests

  • align shoulders and hips in same place

New cards
8

CR of AP Abdomen

  • perpendicular to center of IR

  • enters at MSP at level of iliac crests or 2 inches above (for diaphragm)

  • expose on expiration

New cards
9

Structures shown on AP Abdomen

  • Inferior margin of the liver

  • the spleen

  • kidneys

  • psoas muscles

  • evidence of tumor masses

  • size and shape of liver if upper abdomen and diaphragm included

New cards
10

Part Position for Left lateral AP/PA abdomen decub

  • recumbent left lateral position

  • flex knees for comfort and stability

  • true lateral without rotation

  • place vertical IR/grid centered at 2 inches above iliac crests to demonstrate diaphragm

New cards
11

CR for AP/PA Abdomen left lateral decub

  • horizontal and perpendicular to center of grid

  • enters at MSP at level 2 inches above iliac crests

  • exposure made on expiration

New cards
12

Structures shown on Left lateral abdomen decub

  • air or fluid levels within abdomen if present

  • right border of the abdomen must be visualized

  • well defined diaphragm and abdominal viscera

New cards
13

Part Position for AP Pelvis

  • place IR/grid under pelvis centered to MSP at level midway between between ASIS and pubic symphysis

  • rotate legs medially approx. 15 degrees when not contraindicated

New cards
14

CR for AP Pelvis

  • Perpendicular to IR center

  • enters patient at MSP at 2 inches above pubic symphysis and 2 inches below ASIS

  • exposure made at end of expiration

New cards
15

Structures shown on AP Pelvis

  • both hip bones

  • the sacrum and coccyx

  • the head,neck and trochanters

  • prox portion of the femora

New cards
16

Part Position of AP Femur

  • distal end of grid low enough to include fracture site, pathology, and knee joint

  • ensure proper IR/grid alignment with CR and parallel with femoral condyles

New cards
17

CR for AP Femur

  • Perpendicular to long axis of femur and center of grid

  • CR and IR/ grid must be aligned (to prevent cutoff)

New cards
18

For lateral femur which projection is preferred?

Mediolateral because it provides more visualization of proximal femur

New cards
19

Part position for lateral Cervical spine

  • Top of grid approx. 1 inch above EAM and centered to C4

New cards
20

CR for lateral cervical spine

  • horizontal and perpendicular to center of grid

  • enters level of C4

  • 60-72 inches SID is recommended to help demonstrate C7
