Study Notes
Anatomical Terminology and Body Planes
- Medial Aspect: The side of a body part closest to the midline.
- Coronal Plane: Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts.
- Supine Position: Lying on the back.
- Decubitus Position: Lying down.
- Right Lateral Decubitus Position: Lying on the right side.
- Median Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into equal right and left halves.
- Erect Position: Seated or standing.
- Posterior Aspect: Refers to the view of the patient from the back.
- Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into right and left halves.
- Parasagittal Plane: Divides the body into unequal right and left parts.
- Transverse (Axial) Plane: Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts.
- Prone Position: Lying face down.
- Flexion: Decreasing the angle of a joint.
- Semi-recumbent Position: Posterior thorax against the cassette.
- Abduction: Movement away from the midline of the body.
- Medial Rotation: Inward rotation of a limb toward the midline.
Upper Limb Radiography
- Seated Position: Patient sits at the table for imaging; legs not under the table for upper limb imaging
Other Anatomical Terms
- Lateral Rotation: Rotation away from the midline.
- Pronation: Rotation of the hand to face backward.
- Anteroposterior Projection (AP): Central ray enters the anterior aspect and exits the posterior aspect.
- Left Lateral Projection: Central ray enters from right and exits to left sides of the body.
- Right Lateral Projection: Central ray enters from left and exits to right sides of the body.
- Oblique Projection: Central ray enters at an angle to the median sagittal plane.
- Right Oblique Projection, Left Oblique Projection: The positioning described depends on the side of the body the central ray enters from.
