Cervical Spine ----     RAO/LPO (IVF)

Thoracic Spine --      RAO/LPO (Zygapophyseal)

Definition
TRUE
Term

The largest foramina in the human body are the ______________.

 

Definition
Obturator Foramina
Term
For a AP Pelvis, How must you position your patient to get the Greater Trochanter in profile on a radiograph?
Definition

Internal rotation of the legs and feet.

 

15 to 20 degrees

Term

What are the 3 most important thing you must do, when positioning a patient for a

 

Lateral Elbow?

Definition
  • Shoulder is level with the arm.
  • Arm bent 90 degree

Term

Which term is used to describe the inferior tip of the patella?

 

Definition
Apex
Term
Why must we add a 15-20 degree cephalad angle for a AP Cervical Spine?
Definition
Because of the overlapping of the Vertebral bodies. An angle must be added to open IVD joints.

  • Bifid Spinous Process Tips
  • Overlapping of vertebral bodies

TRUE
Term

WHAT IS A COSTOVERTEBRAL

JT?

Definition
EACH FACET OR COMBO OF TWO DEMI FACETS ACCEPTS THE HEAD OF A RIB TO FORM A COSTOVERTEBRAL JT. (T1- T12)
Term
What is a costotransverse jt?
Definition
only relates to T1-T10 all have facets on the transverse process that articulate with the tubercles of the ribs.
Term
T11 & T12 have costo transverse jt's True or False
Definition
False only T1-T10 have costotransverse jts due to the fact that the ribs arch posteriorly & thier tubercles articulate to form these jts T11 & T12 are considered floating ribs
