Rt 124 – Spring Image Review pt 2 ABD & CHEST 2
Position & Projection • Look at blocker for PROJECTION • Look at air/fluid levels for • Upright vs Supine vs Decubitus • Look at Pathology: • Excessive Fluid or Air indicates pathology and may need adjustment in technique
Projection ?PANote Pathology –Rt middle lobeLt lower lobeatelectasis
Projection ?APREMEMBER TO MOVE CARDIACMONITOR WIRES OUT OF THE WAYPathologynote bilateraleffusion both bases
LAT UPRIGHTON GURNEYNOTE AIR /FLUID LEVELSNote poor positioning ofCR to part(cr too low & too anterior – not at mcp
Position ?Projection?AP semi uprightnote – fluid levels in RT lung what else is needed?Decubs –for fluid levels
Position / Projection?Projection – cant’ tell because no blockerPosition – LLD1) look for the humerus that is raised2) look for fluid levels3) note: poor centering for upside of image
Position / Projection?Projection – AP blocker lower RTPosition – RLD 1) look for the humerus that is raised2) look for fluid levels3) poor marker placement – label of image look for fluid levels
BILATERAL DECUBProjection? PA AP LLD RLD
ABDOMEN- SUPINE – UPRIGHT - LLD
Centering better for upper abd – should put blocker down – to keep out of diaphram area
KUB –POST CT SCANRESIDUAL CONTRAST IN COLON AND KIDNEYSDARK LINE ACROSS ABDOMEN???FROM COMPRESSED SOFT TISSUE –TIGHT WAISTBAND OF CLOTHING
Case example of SUPINE – upper & KUB Upright Should have collimated to upper abd – not exposed lower abd twice (repeated – diaphram clipped)
POSITION?UPRIGHTPROJECTIONPA – WHAT ELSE?BLOCKER PLACEMENT & CLOTHING
Example:may need4 films inquadrantto include allof abd structures(obstruction)
CRITIQUE IMAGESFOR POSITIONINGCOLLIMATION &CENTRAL RAY PLACEMENT
Critique: If taken for AP chest –CR is < too cephalic – moving clavicles above apex
AP ChestCR – too cephalic PT kyhphotic –need to change CRdirection to maintain ┴ to sternum
Projection – APCritique –collimation not centeredekg wires over chest
Lat gurney chest prop arms up withsponges get ST of arms off ofchest
Also review images on first presentation Written test on Tues Lab on Thursday
More pathology& positioningWe will cover in more detailin GI section

Projection?Postion? PA – according to blocker Supine – no air fluid levels

What is thisstep laddersign indicate for pathology?Obstructionsee air-fluid levels Position?Upright!
Small bowel obstruction-remember toinclude all areas of the abdomenwhat could have improved this image?2 cross wise14 x 17
