|---|---|
|
What is the routine projection for fingers (excludes thumb)
PA
PA Oblique Later |
What is anatomy demonstrated for PA finger?
distal, middle and proximal phalanges
distal metacarpal associated joints |
|
What is technical factors for fingers?
SID 40 in
IR - 8 X 10 non grid |
What is anatomy demonstrated for medial/ lateral rotation?
-oblique view of distal, middle and proximal phalanges
-dital metacarpals -associated joints |
|
What is KVP for fingers?
55 to 65
|
What is clinical indications for PA finger, medial/lateral rotation?
-fractures - dislocations of distal middle and proximal phalanges, distal metacarpal
-osetoporosis and osteoarthritis |
|
What is patient position for PA finger
seat pt at end of table with elbow flexed at 90 degrees
hand and wrist resting on table |
What is angle for medial or lateral rotation oblique?
45 degree
|
|
What is the CR for finger, excludes thumb
CR perpendicular to IR directed at PIP
|
What is position criteria for PA fingers?
-long axis of finger should be aligned with and PARALLEL to side of IR
- no rotation of fingers by symmetrical concavities of shaft - soft tissue markings should be equal -fingers separated with no overlap - IP joints appear open showing no overlap of tissue (shows correct position and centering) |
