Slide 1 : Radiography Alternatives Begins at 7:30 You will need a pencil and paper
Slide 2 : Checkpoint #1 When SID changes from 40” to 30”, the mAS must be decreased by about half.
Slide 3 : Checkpoint #2 When doing a lower leg using a 14X17 inch imaging plate, you can actually image more anatomy by turning the plate diagonally and increasing the SID to 48”.
Slide 4 : Checkpoint #3 Doing knees with the patient standing provides a better demonstration of the severity of joint narrowing.
Slide 5 : Checkpoint #4 The open-mouth projection of the cervical spine should demonstrate the odontoid process and the joint between C1 and C2. A slight caudal tilt may be required for the joint space.
Slide 6 : Checkpoint #5 Tape may be one of the most useful tools when attempting some non-routine radiographic positions.
