The Norgaard Method is sometime referred to as ____ and assists in detecting _____.
ball catchers position; rhematoid arthitis
Along with detecting rhematoid arthritis, Norgaard Method is also used to demonstrate _____.
fx of the base of he fifth metacarpal
Evaluation criteria for the Norgaard Method.
1. both hands from the carpal area to the tips of the digits
rhematoid arthritis
chronic systemic disease which affects small joints of hands and feet; begins with inflammation of synovial membrane and causes erosion of the underlying bony cortex and sometimes bone effustion across the joint; crippling deformities result in the end stage of this disease
AP Oblique/Pisiform (Medial)
Central Ray?
Evaluation Criteria?

Midcarpal Area;

Carpals on medial side of wrist;

Triquetrum, hook of hamate, and pisiform free of superimpostion



PA projection, Ulnar Deviation

CR?
Evaluation?


perp. to scaphoid

demonstrates the lateral aspects of the carpals

PA Projection, Radial Deviation

CR?
Evaluation Criteria?


perp. to scaphoid

demonstrates medial aspects of carpals

flex had _____for radial deviation.
medial
flex hand ____for ulnar deviation
laterally
CR for PA projection Radial Deviation
midcarpal area
CR and angle for Stetcher
scaphoid and 20 degrees
CR for clements Nakayama
angled 45 degrees distally to enter the anatomic snuffbox of the wrist and pass through the trapezium
Why do u perform Gaynor Hart?
compression of the median nerve results in pain; Also fx of the hook of hamate, pisiform, and trapezium are seen
CR for Gaynor Hart?
CR- Directed to the palm of the hand at a pt. Ap. 1 inch distal to the base of the third metacarpal and at an angle of 25 to 30 degrees to the long axis of the hand
Distal Humerus- AP Projection/ ACUTE FLEXION
CR?
perp. to the humerus app. 2 inches superior to the olecranon process
Proximal Forearm-PA Projection/ACUTE FLEXION
CR?
perp. to the flexed forearm, entering app. 2 inches distal to the olecranon process
Radial Head Series
Positions?
1st exposure with hand supinated

2nd exposure in lateral

3rd is with hand pronated

4th is interally rotated







Radial Head Series
Evaluation?
Radial Tuberosity anterior for supination and lateral and the Posterior for the Pronation and Internally Rotated
COYLE METHOD)
CR?
45 degrees toward shoulder to radial head
Position of LAWERENCE Method?
abduct the arm of the affected side at right angles to the longs axis of the body; EXTERNAL ROTATION ;have the patient turn the head away from the side being examined so IR can be placed against neck. Put as close to possible to neck.
CR for the Lawrence Method?
Horizontally through the axilla to the region of the AC Articulation. 15 to 30 degrees; the greater the abduction the greater the angle
RAFERT demonstrates what?
anterior dislocation of the humeral head can result in a wedge-shaped compression fracture of the articular surface of the humeral head called the HILL SACS DEFECT.
Position of RAFERT
exaggerated external rotation; externally rotate arm until hand forms a 45 degree oblique. The thumb pointing downward.
CR of RAFERT-
horizontal and angled app. 15 degrees medially and entering the axilla and passing through the AC joint
Evaluation of Rafert
Scapulohumeral joint, corocoid process pointing anterior, lesser tubercle in profile and anterior, AC joint, proximal humerus
GRASHEY METHOD
CR?
Center the IR to the Scapulohumeral joint (2 inches medial and 2 inches inf. To break of shoulder ; rotate the body app. 35 to 45 degrees toward the affected side to put scapula parallel with the plane of the IR.; Abduct the arm slightly in internal rotation, and place palm of the hand on the abdomen
NEER METHOD
Position?
place the pt. In a seated or standing position facing the bucky. ; with the pts. Affected shoulder centered and in contact with the IR ; average rotation is 45 to 60 degrees. Place arm at patients side. (scapula perp. to IR)
Neer Method "Outlet"
CR-
angled 10 to 15 degrees caudal entering the superior aspect of the humeral head
STRYKER “NOTCH” METHOD demonstrates
hill sachs defect
STRYKER “NOTCH” METHOD
CR?
CR- Angled 10 degrees cephalad entering the coracoids process
STRYKER “NOTCH” METHOD
Position?
Arm slightly beyond 90 degrees and place the palm of the hand on the top of the head with the fingertips on head
Stryker Notch
Eval?
overlapping of corocoid process and clavicle ; long axis of humerus aligned with the long axis of the patients body
Fisk demonstrates what?
intertubecular groove
Fisk
Position?
supine is preferred to reduce OID(can be done seated or standing)
Fisk CR?
CR- angled 10 to 15 degrees posterior (downward from horizontal) to the long axis of the humerus for the supine postion
AC Joints
Position?
seated or standing ensuring weight is equally distributed; one exposure with weights affixed to wrists and one exposure without weights
AC Joints Eval?
AC joints visualized with some soft tissue and without excessive density
Arthrography is done on the _______
shoulder, knee, TMJ, elbow, wrist, ankle, hip,
Pneumoarthrography
most painful normally because of large amts. of air to fill joint space
Sometimes with arthrography a ___contrast is used to be readily used
water soluable ionated
A combination of positive and negative contrast utilizes ____
best aspects of each and reduces risks of each
Exams start with administration of _____and completed with a _______
local anesthetic and aseptic technique
Radiologists insert ___, injects ___, and maniputlates ____
needle, contrast and anatomy
Hip Arthrography is in children for what?
to show congenital abnormalities
Hip arthrography is in older pts. for
evaluation of hip prothesis
Shoulder Arthrography is performed for
rotator cuffs, persistent pain, or frozen shoulder
