  2. Unit 1 Introduction to basic radiographic technique

  3. Anatomic & Positioning TerminologyCommon Abbreviations used in this book

  4. Anatomic Terminology • 1/ Anatomic position • Erect, face forward, feet together, arms at sides with palms forward

  5. 2/Plane • Flat surface passed through the body or a portion of th body Longitudinal planes • Coronal • Sagittal Horizontal plane • Transverse Position

  6. 1 Coronal Plane.    2 Median Sagittal Plane.     3Axial Plane

  7. inferior caudal caudad lateral anterior • 3/ Directional Terms cephalad cephalic superior cranial Posterior Anterior Lateral Medial distal Proximal

  8. 4/ Joint Movement Terms • ABDUCT ADDUCT

  9. FLEXION EXTENSION • FLEXION EXTENSION

  10. EVERSION INVERSION

  11. ROTATION vs. CIRCUMDUCTION PRONATION vs. SUPINATION

  12. 5/ Body Position Terms • Describe the overall placement of the body Erect "upright" Position when the Sagittal and coronal planes of thebody are perpendicular to the horizon.

  13. Recumbent "lying down" • Position when the transverse plane of the body is perpendicular to the horizon

  14. decubitus vs. recumbent • general meanings are the same "LYING DOWN" • but in radiography, decubitus has a special meaning DECUBITUS patient is lying down & the x-ray beam is parallel to the horizon
