Position: Patella Hughston The Hughston projection demonstrates the patellofemoral joint. The knee is flexed 50 to 60 degrees with a cephalic beam angle. This projection evaluates subluxation and cartilage defects. Proper positioning prevents distortion. It is a recognized ARRT special view.
Position: AP Wrist Ulnar Deviation The ulnar deviation wrist projection elongates the scaphoid. It evaluates scaphoid fractures. Proper deviation prevents foreshortening. This projection complements PA wrist. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Patella Settegast The Settegast projection demonstrates the patellofemoral joint with extreme knee flexion. It evaluates fractures and cartilage defects. Proper positioning is essential for diagnostic clarity. This projection complements Hughston and sunrise views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: AP Wrist Radial Deviation The radial deviation wrist projection isolates the lunate and triquetrum. It evaluates ligament injuries. Proper deviation is essential. This projection complements ulnar deviation. It is used in orthopedic imaging.
Position: AP Hip True AP The true AP hip projection uses internal rotation to align the femoral neck. It evaluates fractures and degenerative changes. Proper centering ensures diagnostic quality. This projection complements frog lateral hip. It is a core ARRT requirement.
Position: Carpal Tunnel Projection The carpal tunnel projection demonstrates the pisiform and hamate. It evaluates carpal tunnel syndrome and hook of hamate fractures. Proper wrist hyperextension is required. This projection complements standard wrist views. It is a recognized ARRT special view.
Position: AP Pelvis Inlet The inlet pelvis projection demonstrates pelvic ring widening and compression fractures. A caudal angle projects the pelvis axially. Proper centering ensures full visualization. This projection complements outlet pelvis. It is frequently used in trauma imaging.
Position: Carpal Bridge Projection The carpal bridge projection demonstrates the dorsal aspect of the carpals. It evaluates dorsal chip fractures. Proper wrist flexion is essential. This projection complements carpal tunnel view. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: AP Pelvis Outlet The outlet pelvis projection demonstrates vertical shear injuries. A cephalic angle elongates the pubic rami. Proper positioning prevents distortion. This projection complements inlet pelvis. It is a recognized ARRT trauma competency.
Position: AP Femur Proximal The AP proximal femur projection demonstrates the hip joint and upper femur. Internal rotation reduces anteversion. Proper centering ensures diagnostic quality. This projection complements distal femur views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
