Road to Radiography

 

We started learning the physical positioning of the lower extremity in lab today.  We covered these procedures:

AP Foot

AP Oblique Foot

Lateral Foot

Calcaneus (Axial)

Calcaneus (Lateral)

AP Ankle

Ankle (AP - Mortise)

AP Oblique Ankle

Lateral Ankle

AP Tibia-Fibula

Lateral Tibia-Fibula

I think I’m going to create an Excel Spreadsheet on positioning technique for my own use in studying, and I’ll probably share it via this website as well.  I’m planning to use the following columns:

PART/VIEW - FILM SIZE - TT/BUCKY - CR & DIRECTION - POSITIONING TIPS

I’m not sure what the best way to break this down will be… maybe I need to add some columns… your suggestions would be appreciated :)  If I come up with something I like, I’ll go back and add all my previous positioning to it, and continue it throughout my program…
