Position: Fluoro Arthrogram Lateral The lateral arthrogram projection demonstrates joint structures in profile. It evaluates contrast distribution and internal derangements. Proper positioning prevents superimposition. This projection complements AP views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Fluoro Swallow Lateral The lateral swallow projection evaluates swallowing mechanics and aspiration risk. It demonstrates the oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal phases. Proper timing is essential for capturing motion. This projection is critical for speech pathology collaboration. It is a core ARRT fluoroscopy requirement.
Position: Fluoro Swallow AP The AP swallow projection demonstrates symmetry of swallowing structures. It evaluates aspiration, motility, and structural abnormalities. Proper centering ensures full visualization of the pharynx. This projection complements the lateral view. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Fluoro Cystogram AP The AP cystogram projection demonstrates the bladder filled with contrast. It evaluates trauma, reflux, and structural abnormalities. Proper centering ensures full bladder visualization. This projection is essential for urologic imaging. It is a standard ARRT competency.
Position: Fluoro Cystogram Oblique The oblique cystogram projection demonstrates the bladder and ureters without superimposition. It evaluates reflux and ureteral injury. Proper rotation ensures diagnostic quality. This projection complements AP views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Foot Oblique The oblique foot projection rotates the foot 30 to 45 degrees to demonstrate the metatarsals without superimposition. This view highlights the cuboid, sinus tarsi, and lateral structures. It is essential for evaluating fractures, arthritis, and joint alignment. Proper rotation prevents distortion of the metatarsal heads. It is a standard ARRT competency for … Read more
Position: Fluoro Barium Enema LPO The LPO projection demonstrates the splenic flexure and descending colon. Proper rotation prevents superimposition. This projection evaluates colonic pathology. It complements RPO and AP views. It is a recognized ARRT competency.
Position: Foot Lateral The lateral foot projection demonstrates the foot in profile, showing the calcaneus, talus, and metatarsals. It is essential for evaluating fractures, soft tissue swelling, and arch alignment. Proper positioning ensures superimposition of the metatarsals. This projection complements AP and oblique views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Fluoro Barium Enema RPO The RPO projection demonstrates the hepatic flexure and ascending colon. Proper rotation ensures diagnostic visualization. This projection evaluates masses and diverticula. It complements LPO and AP views. It is a standard ARRT requirement.
Position: Calcaneus Axial Plantodorsal The axial calcaneus projection demonstrates the calcaneal tuberosity and subtalar joint. The foot is dorsiflexed while the beam is angled cephalad. This projection evaluates fractures and heel spurs. Proper positioning prevents elongation or distortion. It is a recognized ARRT special projection.
