Position: Arthrogram Oblique The oblique arthrogram projection separates joint structures for improved visualization. It evaluates labral tears and ligament injuries. Proper rotation is essential. This projection complements AP and lateral views. It is recognized on ARRT exams.
Position: AC Joints AP Weight Bearing The AP weight bearing AC joint projection evaluates ligament integrity. Weights are used to stress the joints. Proper centering ensures visualization of both AC joints. This projection complements non?weight bearing views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Arthrogram Axial The axial arthrogram projection demonstrates joint surfaces in cross section. It evaluates cartilage defects and internal derangements. Proper positioning prevents distortion. This projection complements AP and oblique views. It is frequently used in orthopedic imaging.
Position: AC Joints AP Non Weight Bearing The AP non weight bearing AC joint projection evaluates baseline joint spacing. It is compared with weight bearing views. Proper centering ensures symmetry. This projection is essential for AC joint injury assessment. It is a core ARRT requirement.
Position: IVP AP Scout The AP scout projection is taken before contrast injection to evaluate baseline anatomy. It identifies stones, masses, and bowel gas patterns. Proper centering includes kidneys, ureters, and bladder. This projection is essential for IVP planning. It is a core ARRT competency.
Position: IVP AP Post Contrast The AP post contrast projection demonstrates renal function and contrast excretion. It evaluates obstruction and hydronephrosis. Proper timing is essential for diagnostic quality. This projection complements oblique and bladder views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: IVP Oblique The oblique IVP projection demonstrates the ureters and renal pelvis without superimposition. It evaluates stones and strictures. Proper rotation ensures diagnostic visualization. This projection complements AP views. It is a standard ARRT requirement.
Position: IVP Bladder AP The AP bladder projection demonstrates the bladder filled with contrast. It evaluates reflux, obstruction, and masses. Proper centering ensures full bladder visualization. This projection complements oblique bladder views. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Retrograde Pyelogram AP The AP retrograde pyelogram demonstrates the renal pelvis and ureters during cystoscopic contrast injection. It evaluates strictures and stones. Proper centering ensures visualization of the entire collecting system. This projection is essential for urologic imaging. It is a recognized ARRT competency.
Position: Retrograde Pyelogram Oblique The oblique retrograde pyelogram projection separates the ureters from the spine. It improves visualization of narrowing and obstruction. Proper rotation ensures diagnostic quality. This projection complements AP views. It is frequently used in GU fluoroscopy.
