Exam 7: Femur and Pelvic Girdle

A radiograph of an AP axial (Taylor)"outlet" projection reveals that the obturator foramina are not symmetric.What type of positioning problem is present on this radiograph?

The image receptor must be placed parallel to the femoral neck for the axiolateral (inferosuperior)projection of the hip.

Which of the following structures is not an aspect of the proximal femur?

Which of the following bony structures cannot be palpated?

Select the correct gender to correspond with the following pelvic characteristics.Wider and shallow general shape of pelvis:

The posterior oblique (Judet method)for the acetabulum requires a 10° to 15° rotation of the body.

Less abduction of femora of only 20° to 30° from vertical provides for the least foreshortening of femoral necks when performing the AP bilateral "frog-leg" projection.

Which of the following conditions will produce shortening of the epiphyses but widening of the epiphyseal plate?

Which of the labeled structures is the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)?

A radiograph of an AP pelvis reveals that the lesser trochanters are not visualized.This pelvis projection was performed for nontraumatic reasons.What should the technologist do (if anything)to correct this on the repeat exposure?

What is the amount of abduction of the femurs recommended for an AP bilateral frog-leg projection?

How much rotation of the body is required for posterior axial oblique projection (Teufel method)?

Which of the labeled structures is the ischial tuberosity?

A patient comes to radiology with a request for a right hip study.He is from an extended care facility and is confused about the cause of the injury.The technologist takes an AP pelvis,and when the lateral frog-leg projection is attempted,the patient complains loudly about the pain in his affected hip.What should the technologist do to complete the study?

What type of CR angle is required for the posterior axial oblique projection (Teufel method)?

Which of the following conditions will produce the radiographic sign referred to as "bamboo spine"?

A nontrauma patient comes to radiology with a history of chronic pain of the right hip.The patient is ambulatory but has not had previous radiographs taken of that hip.Which of the following routines would be best suited for this patient?
