  2. Anatomic Position • Upright • ___________ to the side • __________ forward • Head straight • __________ straight

  3. Important Terminology • __________ Plane • Right and left • Coronal Plane • Anterior (front) and posterior (back) • ___________Plane • Superior (top) and inferior (bottom) • Oblique Plane • Any ____________

  4. __________ An angle toward the head. ____________ An angle away from the head (toward the feet) Cephalad vs. CaudadReferring to the angle of an X-ray tube

  5. Radiographic Terminology • ____________- An image receptor with an X-ray image imprinted on it • ____________- The production of radiographs

  7. Radiographic Projections • Describes the path of the _____________

  8. PA The CR travels _______ to Anterior PA Oblique AP The CR travels Anterior to _________ AP oblique Posteroanterior and Anteroposterior

  9. ______________ The CR travels from the medial side to the lateral ____________ The CR travels from the lateral side to the medial Mediolateral and Lateromedial

  10. Basic Rule • There is a minimum of _____________ • _____from each other • For joints try for 3 (2) 90⁰ from each other (1) __________

  11. Body Positions • Describes the way the _______is to be placed.

  12. General Positions • ___________ • On their back • Prone – On their stomach • Erect - Upright • _____________ – Lay down (Any way)

  13. Specific Positions • Lateral – Side closest to the IR • _____________ – In between ____________and Lateral • Posterior Oblique • Oblique with a specific __________ side closest to the IR • Anterior Oblique • Oblique with a specific anterior side closest to the IR

  14. Decubitus • _____________ • Having a horizontal CR to detect fluid levels • Right or Left Lateral (AP or PA) Decubitus • The patient lies on right or left side with the CR traveling __________ • Dorsal Decubitus – Patient lies on their back and the CR travels horizontal ________ • ___________Decubitus – Patient lies on their stomach and the CR travels horizontal (Lateral)

  15. Radiographic Technique • _____________ peak (kVp)(kV) • _____________ (mA) • Exposure time (s)

  16. kV • Determines the __________of the beam. • Gives X-rays the _____________ power

  17. mAs • Combination of mA and s • Determines the ___________of the beam • More mAs more ___________
