  2. T-Spine Vertebrae • T1-4 smaller (____________) • T5-8 typical Thoracic • T9-12 larger (____________) • _________ for ribs

  3. Costovertebral Joints • _____________ • Accepts head of rib • ______________ • Where rib articulates with ______vertebrae. • T2-8 (2) demifacets • T9 (1) demifacet

  4. Costotransverse joints • __________on transverse process • Articulates with rib __________ • _________ • 11&12 lacks

  5. T-spine characteristics • Spinous process projects ____________ • Ex: on AP T4 (SP) _____________on T5 • Zygapophysealjoints • ____________________. • Intervertebral foramina • ____________________.

  6. C&T-spine topographic landmarks • ___________– C1 • __________– C1 • __________– C3 • Jugular notch – T2-3 • Sternal angle – T4-5 • Xiphoid tip – T9-10

  7. T-Spine Imaging Routine • AP • Lateral • Swimmers • 40” SID • 80-85kVp • Recumbent
