to demonstrated alignment & ligament stability. Also allows natural curvature of the spine

Front

what diagnostic information is gained from performing projections of the cervical spine in the erect position?

Back

Myleography, CT, MRI, Nuc Med

Front

which alternatives modalities may be used to evaluate the intervertebral disks?

Back

Fuchs Method

Front

what projection is most likely used if a good odontoid cannot be obtained with an open mouth projections?

Back

does not superimpose anatomy and is anatomically correct

Front

where should patient identification and side information markers be placed?

Back

mastoid tip, thyroid cartilage, vertebra prominens, gonion

Front

topographic landmarks used to position the cervical spine

Back

to improve image quality & reduce magnification

Front

why is a 72-in (180-cm) SID preferred for some projections of the cervical spine?

Back

patient erect, lateral position w/shoulder against IR

Front

how is the patient positioned for a lateral projection to view the cervicothoracic region?

Back

drops the shoulders down; suspend on full expiration

Front

how does respiration affect the ability to visualize C7 on a radiograph taken in the lateral positions?

Back

80 +/- 5

Front

what is the typical Kv range for radiography of the cervical spine?

Back

C2-C7

Front

which cervical intervertebral foramen are demonstrated on the posterior oblique positions

Back

AP Open mouth: 8x10 LW AP Axial: 8x10/10x12 LW Obliques: 10x12 LW Lateral: 10x12 LW Lateral Trauma: 10x12 LW Swimmers: 10x12 LW Fuchs: 8x10 CW Ottonello Method: 10x12 LW Vertebral Arch: 10x12 LW

Front

what is the IR size and orientation for each projection of the cervical?

Back

AP Open Mouth, AP Axial, Obliques, Lateral

Front

what are the basic projections for a cervical spine series

Back

lower margin of upper incisors & mastoid process

Front

which landmarks are aligned for an AP projection of C1 and C2

Back

zygopophyseal joints seen in lateral view; intervertebral foramina seen in oblique views

Front

what is the relationship of the intervertebral foramen and the zygopophyseal joints of a cervical vertebra?

Back

AP Open Mouth: no angle, CR directed to center of open mouth AP Axial: 15-20 degrees cephalic, CR to lower thyroid region Anterior Oblique: 15-20 degrees caudad, CR to C4 Posterior Oblique: 15-20 degrees cephalic, CR to C4 Lateral: no angle, CR to C4

Front

list the CR location and tube angles needed (if any) for each basic projection of the cervical spine
