Position: Scapula Y Trauma The trauma scapula Y projection demonstrates dislocation and scapular fractures. It is performed with minimal patient movement. Proper rotation is essential for diagnostic quality. This projection complements AP trauma shoulder views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Pediatric Scoliosis PA The pediatric PA scoliosis projection reduces breast dose while evaluating spinal curvature. Proper centering includes the entire spine. Shielding is essential. This projection is used for long?term monitoring. It is a recognized ARRT pediatric competency.
Position: Scapula AP Trauma The trauma AP scapula projection evaluates fractures and alignment. It is performed without moving the arm. Proper centering ensures visualization of the entire scapula. This projection complements Y and lateral trauma views. It is a recognized ARRT competency.
Position: Pediatric Scoliosis Lateral The lateral scoliosis projection demonstrates spinal curvature in profile. It evaluates vertebral rotation and deformity. Proper positioning prevents rotation. This projection complements PA views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Pelvis Judet Oblique Internal The internal Judet projection demonstrates the posterior acetabular column. It evaluates fractures and dislocations. Proper rotation is essential for accurate visualization. This projection complements external Judet views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Pediatric Pelvis AP The pediatric AP pelvis projection evaluates congenital hip dysplasia and trauma. Proper centering includes the entire pelvis. Immobilization prevents motion. This projection is essential for orthopedic evaluation. It is a core ARRT requirement.
Position: Pelvis Judet Oblique External The external Judet projection demonstrates the anterior acetabular column. It evaluates fractures and joint involvement. Proper rotation prevents superimposition. This projection complements internal Judet views. It is a standard ARRT competency.
Position: Pediatric Femur AP The pediatric AP femur projection evaluates fractures and growth plate injuries. Proper centering includes hip and knee joints. Immobilization prevents motion blur. This projection complements lateral femur views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Pelvis Inlet Trauma The inlet pelvis projection demonstrates pelvic ring widening and compression fractures. A caudal angle projects the pelvis axially. Proper centering ensures diagnostic quality. This projection is essential for trauma evaluation. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Pelvis Outlet Trauma The outlet pelvis projection demonstrates vertical shear injuries. A cephalic angle elongates the pubic rami and sacrum. Proper positioning prevents distortion. This projection complements inlet views. It is a core ARRT trauma competency.
