Position: AP Tibia Fibula Weight Bearing The weight bearing tib fib projection evaluates lower leg alignment under load. It is essential for assessing tibial deformities. Proper centering includes both joints. This projection complements lateral weight bearing tib fib. It is used in orthopedic planning.
Position: Lateral Tibia Fibula Weight Bearing The lateral weight bearing tib fib projection demonstrates the lower leg in profile under physiological load. It evaluates deformity and joint spacing. Proper positioning prevents rotation. This projection complements AP weight bearing tib fib. It is recognized in orthopedic imaging.
Position: AP Knee Weight Bearing The weight bearing AP knee projection evaluates joint space narrowing under load. It is essential for diagnosing osteoarthritis. Proper centering includes both femoral condyles. This projection complements lateral weight bearing knee. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
Position: Lateral Knee Weight Bearing The lateral weight bearing knee projection demonstrates the knee in profile under load. It evaluates joint space and alignment. Proper positioning prevents rotation. This projection complements AP weight bearing knee. It is used in orthopedic assessment.
Position: PA Knee Weight Bearing The PA weight bearing knee projection evaluates joint space narrowing with reduced magnification. It is preferred for arthritis assessment. Proper centering ensures diagnostic quality. This projection complements AP weight bearing knee. It is a recognized ARRT competency.
Position: Rosenberg Knee The Rosenberg projection is a PA flexed knee view used to evaluate joint space narrowing. It is essential for early osteoarthritis detection. Proper flexion at 45 degrees is required. This projection complements standard knee views. It is frequently used in orthopedic imaging.
Position: AP Femur Trauma Horizontal Beam The horizontal beam AP femur projection evaluates fractures without repositioning. Proper centering includes hip and knee. This projection complements lateral trauma femur. It is used in emergency imaging.
Position: Tunnel Knee Camp Coventry The Camp Coventry projection demonstrates the intercondylar fossa. The patient is prone with knee flexed 40 to 50 degrees. This projection evaluates loose bodies and notch pathology. Proper angulation prevents distortion. It is a recognized ARRT special view.
Position: Lateral Femur Trauma Horizontal Beam The horizontal beam lateral femur projection demonstrates the femur in profile. It evaluates fractures and soft tissue swelling. Proper positioning prevents rotation. This projection complements AP trauma femur. It is a core ARRT competency.
Position: Tunnel Knee Holmblad The Holmblad projection demonstrates the intercondylar fossa with the patient kneeling. It evaluates cruciate ligament pathology. Proper positioning requires 60 to 70 degrees of knee flexion. This projection complements Camp Coventry. It is frequently tested on ARRT exams.
