LRA 223 and 224 Week 2 UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
How many vertebrae in thoracic spine 12 vertebrae
What are the landmarks of the thoracic spine? Jugular notch (T2-T3)
Sternal Angle (T4-T5)
Mid-Thorax (T7)
Xiphoid Process (T9-T10)
How do you see the IVF'S of the Thoracic Spine Lateral position
How do you see the Z-joints of the Thoracic Spine 70° oblique
(upside, posterior oblique)
Compression Fractures Collapse of the vertebrae body
Kyphosis (hunchback) Abnormal or exaggerated, convex curvature of the thoracic spine results and
stooped posture, and reduced height height
Osteoporosis A condition in which the body's bones become weak and break easily. Will require
some decreasing on the exposure of technical factors
What is the evaluation criteria on an AP T-spine -Range of C7-L1 included
-No rotation
-Vertebrae bodies went penetrated
-Optimal exposure factors
Technical factors of a AP T-spine SID - 40 IN
CR - Perp to IR = Direct to T7 (3-4 in below jugular notch)
Technical factors of Lateral T-Spine SID-40 IN
CR - Perp to IR=Direct to T7 (3-4 in below jugular notch)
LEAD MAT PLACED ON TABLE BEHIND TO REDUCE SCATTER TO IR
Evaluation criteria for lateral T-spine - Range of T1-L1 included
- Intervertebral disk space open
- No Rotation
-Optimal Exposure Factors
Lumbar spine landmarks Xiphoid Tip (T9-T10)
Lower costal margin (L2-L3)
Iliac crest (L4-L5)
ASIS (S1-S2)
Symphysis Pubis
