Pelvic Girdle

Question 1

_________ and ___________ recommended Two AP projections of the pelvis for demonstration of the relationship of the femoral head and the acetabulum
in patient with congenital hip dislocation

Answer 1

Martz and Taylor

Question 2

Shows a lateral radiograph of the lumbosacral
junction, sacrum, coccyx, and superimposed hip bones and upper femora

Answer 2

lateral projection right or left position

Question 3

This method was devised for the purpose of measuring the horizontal, or bi-ischial, diameter in pelvimetry.

Some radiographers use this method to determine the relationship of the femoral head to the acetabulum, and others employ it to demonstrate the opacified recto sigmoid portion of the colon

Answer 3

axial projection - chassard lapine method

Question 4

shows an axial projection of the pelvis, demonstrating the relationship between the femoral heads and the acetabula, the pelvic bones, and any opacified structure within the pelvis

Answer 4

axial projection - chassard lapine method

Question 5

shows an AP oblique projection of the femoral heads, necks, and trochanteric areas projected onto one radiograph for comparison

Answer 5

ap oblique projection - modified cleaves method

Question 6

Shows an axiolateral projection of the femoral heads, necks, and trochanteric areas.

Contraindicated for patient with suspected fracture or pathologic condititon

Answer 6

axiolateral projection - original cleaves method

Question 7

these methods are used to demonstrate the hip joint
and the relationship of the femoral head to the acetabulum

Show a lateral projection of the hip, including the
acetabulum, the proximal end of the femur, and the
relationship of the femoral head to the acetabulum

Answer 7

lateral projection mediolateral - Lauenstein and Hickey methods

Question 8

When the patient has bilateral hip fractures, bilateral hip arthroplasty (plastic surgery of the hip joints), or limitation of movement of the unaffected leg, the Danelius-Miller method cannot be used.

Answer 8

axiolateral projection - clements nakayama modification

Question 9

they described a modification using a 15 degree posterior angulation of central ray

Answer 9

clements and nakayama

Question 10

This leg position demonstrates a lateral hip image because the central ray is angled 15 degrees posterior instead of the toes being medially rotated

This also shows the acetabulum and the proximal femur, inc. the head, neck, and trochanters in lateral profile

Answer 10

axiolateral projection - clements nakayama modification

Question 11

Shows the fovea capitis and particularly the supero-posteriorb wall of the acetabulum

Answer 11

PA axial oblique projection - Teufel method RAO or LAO position

Question 12

Described as two 45-degree posterior oblique positions that are useful in diagnosing fracture of the acetabulum: the internal oblique position (affected side up) and the external
oblique position (affected side down).

Answer 12

AP oblique projection acetabulum judet method - RPO or LPO position

Question 13

Shows a PA projection of the pubic symphysis and
ischia, including the obturator foramina.

Answer 13

PA projection - anterior pelvic bone

Question 14

shows the rami without the foreshortening seen in a PA or AP projection (due to the CR more perpendicular to the rami)

Answer 14

AP axial outlet projection - taylor method

Question 15

Shows a PA axial projection of the pubic and ischial bones and the pubic symphysis.

The appearance of this radiograph will be nearly identical to the supero-inferior axial projection discussed previously.

Answer 15

PA axial inlet projection staunig method
