Position: Cystogram Lateral The lateral cystogram projection demonstrates the bladder in profile. It evaluates rupture, reflux, and diverticula. Proper positioning prevents rotation. This projection complements AP and oblique views. It is a standard ARRT competency.
Position: Cystogram Upright The upright cystogram projection evaluates bladder mobility and reflux. It is used when gravity?dependent filling is needed. Proper centering ensures full bladder visualization. This projection complements supine views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Urethrogram Lateral The lateral urethrogram projection demonstrates the urethra in profile. It evaluates strictures and trauma. Proper positioning prevents superimposition. This projection complements AP and oblique views. It is a recognized ARRT competency.
Position: Shoulder West Point The West Point projection demonstrates the anterior inferior glenoid rim. It evaluates Bankart lesions. Proper prone positioning and beam angulation are essential. This projection complements axillary and Y views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Shoulder Stryker Notch The Stryker notch projection demonstrates the humeral head for Hill Sachs lesions. The arm is flexed with the hand on the head. Proper beam angulation isolates the defect. This projection complements AP and axillary views. It is a recognized ARRT special projection.
Position: Shoulder Bernageau The Bernageau projection demonstrates the glenoid rim and anterior inferior margin. It evaluates instability and fractures. Proper positioning requires precise rotation. This projection complements axillary and Y views. It is frequently used in orthopedic imaging.
Position: Myelogram Oblique The oblique myelogram projection demonstrates nerve root sleeves. It evaluates stenosis and herniation. Proper rotation prevents superimposition. This projection complements AP and lateral views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Clavicle PA The PA clavicle projection reduces thyroid dose compared to AP. It demonstrates the entire clavicle and AC joint. Proper centering ensures diagnostic quality. This projection complements AP axial views. It is recognized on ARRT exams.
Position: Myelogram PA The PA myelogram projection demonstrates contrast distribution in the spinal canal. It reduces dose to anterior structures. Proper centering ensures full visualization. This projection complements lateral and oblique views. It is a standard ARRT competency.
Position: Clavicle PA Axial The PA axial clavicle projection uses a caudal angle to project the clavicle above the ribs. It evaluates fractures and alignment. Proper angulation prevents distortion. This projection complements PA views. It is a standard ARRT competency.
