Position: Tangential Zygomatic Arch The tangential projection isolates one zygomatic arch. It evaluates depressed fractures. Proper rotation and tilt prevent superimposition. This projection complements SMV. It is a standard ARRT competency.
Position: AP Mandible The AP mandible projection demonstrates the mandibular body and rami. It evaluates fractures and alignment. Proper centering prevents distortion. This projection complements oblique and axial mandible views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: AP Retrograde Cystogram The AP retrograde cystogram evaluates bladder filling and integrity. Contrast outlines the bladder walls. Proper centering ensures full visualization. This projection is essential for trauma and postoperative assessment. It is a standard ARRT competency.
Position: PA Mandible The PA mandible projection demonstrates the rami and body. It evaluates fractures and deformities. Proper positioning prevents skull superimposition. This projection complements AP and oblique views. It is a recognized ARRT requirement.
Position: Oblique Retrograde Cystogram The oblique retrograde cystogram separates the bladder from pelvic bones. It evaluates reflux and ureteral injury. Proper rotation ensures diagnostic clarity. This projection complements AP views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Axiolateral Mandible The axiolateral mandible projection demonstrates the ramus, body, or mentum depending on rotation. It evaluates fractures and TMJ alignment. Proper angulation prevents superimposition. This projection complements AP and PA mandible. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: AP Urethrogram The AP urethrogram projection evaluates the male urethra. It identifies strictures and trauma. Proper centering ensures visualization from bladder neck to meatus. This projection complements oblique urethrogram. It is a recognized ARRT competency.
Position: AP Axial TMJ The AP axial TMJ projection demonstrates the condyles and TMJ spaces. It evaluates degenerative changes and dislocation. Proper angulation prevents distortion. This projection complements open and closed mouth views. It is a standard ARRT competency.
Position: Oblique Urethrogram The oblique urethrogram projection rotates the patient to separate the urethra from the femur. It improves visualization of strictures. Proper rotation prevents superimposition. This projection complements AP views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Open Mouth TMJ The open mouth TMJ projection demonstrates condylar movement. It evaluates dislocation and joint dysfunction. Proper positioning ensures visualization of the condyle. This projection complements closed mouth TMJ. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
