Position: AP Upper Limb Scanogram The AP upper limb scanogram evaluates humeral and forearm length. It is used for congenital deformities and growth disorders. Proper centering ensures accurate measurement. This projection complements lower limb scanograms. It is recognized in orthopedic imaging.

Position: AP Lower Limb Orthoroentgenogram The orthoroentgenogram uses sequential exposures to measure bone length. It reduces distortion compared to a single long exposure. Proper alignment is essential for accuracy. This projection complements scanogram studies. It is frequently used in pediatric orthopedics.

Position: AP Long Bone Scanogram The AP scanogram projection measures limb length using three exposures of hip, knee, and ankle. It is essential for evaluating leg length discrepancy. Proper centering ensures accurate measurement without magnification error. This projection is used in orthopedic planning. It is recognized on ARRT exams.

Position: AP Abdomen Neonatal Cross Table The neonatal cross table abdomen projection evaluates free air and NEC. A horizontal beam is essential. Proper positioning prevents rotation. This projection complements AP neonatal abdomen. It is recognized in pediatric imaging.

Position: AP Chest Neonatal Cross Table The neonatal cross table chest projection evaluates lungs and lines using a horizontal beam. It is used when the infant cannot be rotated. Proper centering ensures full lung visualization. This projection complements AP neonatal chest. It is essential in NICU imaging.

Position: AP Chest Dual Energy The dual energy chest projection separates bone and soft tissue. It evaluates nodules obscured by ribs. Proper timing is essential. This projection complements standard chest views. It is recognized in advanced imaging.

Position: AP Chest Inspiration The inspiration chest projection demonstrates full lung expansion. It evaluates lung fields, heart, and mediastinum. Proper positioning ensures diagnostic clarity. This projection complements expiration chest. It is a core ARRT requirement.

Position: AP Chest Expiration The expiration chest projection evaluates pneumothorax and diaphragm motion. It reduces lung volume for better visualization. Proper centering prevents rotation. This projection complements inspiration chest. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.

Position: AP Abdomen Cross Table The cross table abdomen projection evaluates free air and bowel gas patterns. It is used when the patient cannot be moved. Proper centering ensures diagnostic quality. This projection complements supine abdomen. It is recognized in trauma imaging.

Position: AP Abdomen Right Lateral Decubitus The right lateral decubitus abdomen demonstrates left?sided free air. A horizontal beam is essential. Proper positioning prevents rotation. This projection complements left decubitus abdomen. It is used in acute abdomen evaluation.
