Exam 7: Femur and Pelvic Girdle

Select the correct gender to correspond with the following pelvic characteristics.Acute angle of pubic arch:

Which of the following projections would be best for a patient with limited movement of both lower limbs (in addition to the AP pelvis)?

A PA axial oblique projection (Teufel method)is performed on a patient.The resultant radiograph demonstrates distortion of the acetabulum.The following positioning factors were used: 40° anterior oblique,12° cephalad CR angle,and CR centered to the upside hip (acetabulum).What needs to be modified during the repeat exposure?

Which of the following projections requires that the IR be tilted 15° from the vertical plane?

Which of the following structures is considered to be most inferior or distal?

Which one of the following projections will best demonstrate a lateral oblique view of the femoral head and neck for the patient with limited movement in both lower limbs?

Where is the CR placed for an AP projection of the pelvis?

Cephalopelvimetry is still commonly performed in the U.S.

During a repeat study of the AP axial (Taylor)outlet projection,both obturator foramina are symmetric but foreshortened.Which of the following positioning modifications must be performed to correct this error?

A radiograph of an AP pelvis reveals that the left obturator foramen is more open or elongated as compared with the right.What is the specific positioning error present on this radiograph?

Select the correct gender to correspond with the following pelvic characteristics.Narrower,deeper general shape of pelvis:

The two bony landmarks that are palpated using the hip localization method are the:

MATCHING Match the correct disease or condition with the corresponding pathologic description.(Use each choice only once.) -Fractures that occur in adolescent athletes who experience sudden,forceful,or unbalanced contraction of the tendinous and muscular attachments on the bony pelvis.

Which of the following positions will best demonstrate signs of developmental dysplasia of the hip?

MATCHING Match the correct disease or condition with the corresponding pathologic description.(Use each choice only once.) -A fracture resulting from a severe blow to one side of the pelvis

A patient enters the ER with a possible separation of the symphysis pubis caused by trauma.The AP pelvis projection is inconclusive for determining the extent of the injury.What other projection can be taken to evaluate this region without excessive movement of the patient?

A radiograph of an AP pelvis reveals that the right iliac wing is foreshortened as compared with the left side.What specific positioning problem is present on this radiograph?

Which of the following imaging modalities can be performed on a newborn to assess hip joint stability during movement?

MATCHING Match the correct disease or condition with the corresponding pathologic description.(Use each choice only once.) -A disease producing extensive calcification of the longitudinal ligament of the spinal column

A radiograph of an AP pelvis demonstrates that the right obturator foramen is foreshortened but the left foramen is open.Which one of the following positioning errors is present on this radiograph?
