Embedded Files
mAs: 20
kVp: 80
EI : 818
DI: 0.3 (good)
Changes to be made: CR slightly below midway level of ASIS and symphysis pubis. Entire pelvis and proximal femora included. Slight tilt to the right. No rotation present. Lesser trochanters not visible. Good exposure factors.
AP Distal Femur (GE Room)
AP Distal Femur (GE Room)
mAs: 32
kVp: 85
EI : 409
DI: -0.8 (good)
Changes to be made: CR to midpoint of IR. Leg is not interally rotated 5 degrees. Knee joint is included but CR could have been brought down more. Marker present. mAs could have been brought down but DI number is good.
AP Hip (Ford)
AP Hip (Ford)
mAs: 20
kVp: 80
EI : 603
DI: -0.6 (good)
Changes to be made: CR is too high. Proximal 1/3rd of femur needs to be included and less of the pelvis. Collimation could have been brought in to the level of the symphysis pubis and slightly below the iliac crest. Hip joint space and acetabulum is visualized. Lesser trochanter is only slightly visible. Marker is present. Good exposure factors.
Lateral Distal Femur (GE Room)
Lateral Distal Femur (GE Room)
mAs: 40
kVp: 70
EI : 417
DI: -0.7 (good)
Changes to be made: Excessively externally rotated. Knee joint is included. CR good. Marker present. mAs needed to be brought down to around 16 mAs with a slight increase of kVp to 75-85 but DI number is good.
Cross Table Lateral (Portable)
Cross Table Lateral (Portable)
mAs: 10
kVp: 80
EI : 1265
Changes to be made: Entire femoral head, neck and acetabulum visualized. No visible gride lines. Exposure factors are too low, image is soft and detail is lost. Marker is present but it is placed in the anatomy.
AP Frog- Leg Lateral Hip (FOrd)
AP Frog- Leg Lateral Hip (FOrd)
mAs: 20
kVp: 70
EI : 1799
DI: 3.7 (high)
Changes to be made: Femur abducted 45 degrees from vertical. CR perpendicular to midfemoral neck. Entire femoral head, neck and trochanters are centered to IR. Femoral head and neck are in profile. Optimal exposure factors. Marker present.
Clements-Nakayama (DR Room)
Clements-Nakayama (DR Room)
mAs: 20
kVp: 75
EI : 593
DI: -0.7 (good)
Changes to be made: CR 30 to 40 degrees mediolateral and 15 to 20 degrees posteior from horozontal. CR is slightly too far down the femur and collimation could have been brought in. Entire femoral head and neck and trochanters visable. Femoral head and neck in profile. Exposure factors are too high and experiencing burn out. Marker is present.
