Position: Lateral Skull Neonatal The neonatal lateral skull projection demonstrates cranial sutures and soft tissues. It evaluates trauma and hydrocephalus. Proper positioning prevents rotation. This projection complements AP neonatal skull. It is used in pediatric imaging.
Position: AP Spine Neonatal The neonatal AP spine projection evaluates congenital anomalies. Proper centering ensures full visualization. Immobilization prevents motion. This projection complements lateral neonatal spine. It is recognized on ARRT exams.
Position: AP Knee Stress Valgus The valgus stress knee projection evaluates medial collateral ligament integrity. It is essential for diagnosing sprains. Proper stabilization prevents rotation. This projection complements varus stress. It is frequently used in orthopedic imaging.
Position: Lateral Spine Neonatal The neonatal lateral spine projection demonstrates vertebral alignment. It evaluates congenital deformities and trauma. Proper positioning prevents rotation. This projection complements AP neonatal spine. It is used in pediatric orthopedics.
Position: AP Pelvis Frog Bilateral The bilateral frog pelvis projection demonstrates both femoral heads in abduction. It evaluates pediatric hip dysplasia. Proper positioning prevents rotation. This projection complements AP pelvis. It is recognized on ARRT exams.
Position: AP Abdomen Acute Series The AP acute abdomen projection evaluates obstruction and perforation. It is part of a three?view series. Proper centering ensures full abdominal coverage. This projection complements upright and decubitus abdomen. It is a core ARRT competency.
Position: AP Hip Von Rosen The Von Rosen projection evaluates neonatal hip stability. It uses forced abduction to detect dislocation. Proper positioning is essential for safety. This projection complements standard pediatric hip views. It is used in orthopedic pediatrics.
Position: PA Chest Acute Series The PA chest projection in an acute series evaluates lungs and diaphragm. It identifies free air under the diaphragm. Proper positioning prevents rotation. This projection complements abdomen views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: AP Femur Neonatal The neonatal AP femur projection evaluates congenital deformities. Proper immobilization prevents motion. This projection complements pediatric hip views. It is essential for early orthopedic assessment. It is recognized on ARRT exams.
Position: AP Pelvis Trauma Horizontal Beam The horizontal beam AP pelvis projection evaluates fractures without moving the patient. It is essential in trauma imaging.
