Ribs 2012- pt 2POSITIOINING (review) PA -anterior side BEST SEEN AP -posterior side BEST SEEN
AP OBLIQUES LPO RPO (May also include PA CHEST for lungs) PA OBLIQUES RAO LAO RIBS (Projections & Positions) • Exam done : UNILATERAL or BILATERAL • AD (above diaphram) & BD – (below diaphram)
BEST SEEN - RIBS • AP - posterior ribs (AD/BD) • PA - anterior ribs (AD/BD) • OBLIQUES • RAO / LPO : • LT axillary ribs + RT post rib art w/spine • LAO / RPO • RT axillary ribs + LT post rib art w/spine
UNIT 3 RT 122TECHNIQUE CONSIDERATION RIBS : UNILATERAL OR BILATERAL SHORT SCALE CONTRAST NEEDED BONY DETAIL • AD – above diaphram • 60 – 70 KVP – INSPIRATION • BD – below diaphram • 70 KVP + 3-4 x more mAs (ABD) • EXPIRATION
Routine: Bilateral RIBS • Must include : BOTH sides (RT & LT) • TOP & Bottom (AED & BD) • AP or PA • OBLIQUES • LPO (RAO) • RPO (LAO) • (May also include PA CHEST for lungs) ↑ kVp for lungs (90-120)vs kVp bony ribs (60-80)
BILAT – AD (upright) 14 x 17 LW CW Centering – same as CXR MSP + T 7
Deep Inspiration Why?
BILAT (BD) 11X14 CW OR 14 x 17 LW Centering – (similar to upper ABD) MSP + L-1 (Bend of Rib) Top of light 1 – 2 “ above xyphoid Bottom of light 1 – 2 “ below IC
AP Bilat – OBLIQUE (AD) Position? Demonstrates? CR ~ ½ way between MSP/MCP (side up) or ~ 2” lat to MSP (side up)& T7 (AD)
Taken “AP” Position? Demonstrates?
PA Bilat – OBLIQUE (AD) Move both arms out of the way This position not tested in lab
LAO/RPO for the RT RIBSUPSIDE = PA AWAY DOWNSIDE = AP TOWARD (SIDE OF PAIN)
