Presentation Transcript

  1. Intro to X-Rays • Things you need • Upper cervical specific x-ray machine • A single phase / high frequency/digital aligned to NUCCA specifications

  2. Intro to X-Rays • Upper Cervical Chair • The X-Ray Chair runs on a series of linear bearing guides. It has 9" of cross travel, 30" of longitudinal travel and rotates a full 360 degrees. It can be locked in any position and has an adjustable back rest.

  3. Intro to X-Rays • Head claps and alignment mask

  4. Intro to X-Rays • 3 Views • Lateral • Nasium • Vertex

  5. Intro to X-Rays • Lateral • 10”x12” • Central Ray @ C1- C2 • 42” • Purpose • To obtain the S or I line of the atlas • Tells if the atlas has gone inferior or superior • To determine where to take the nasium

  6. Intro to X-Rays • Nasium • 10”x12” • Central Ray(determined by the S-Line) • 42” • Purpose • Determined atlas laterality (Right or Left) • Lower angle and upper angle to determine which type • Determine APL, A/O, C/A, Ang, Atl, OD, BC, Sp • Calculations for height vector (High or Low) • Spinous rotation of C2 to determine if torque is needed

  7. Intro to X-Rays • Vertex • 10”x12” • Central Ray at right angle to skull floor • 42” • Purpose • C1 rotation to determine posterior or anterior vector
