Study Notes
Myelography and Related Procedures
- Myelogram requires the use of sterile gloves when handling items on the tray.
- Involves intrathecal injection of a contrast medium into the spinal canal.
- Contrast medium is injected into the subarachnoid space during myelography.
Legal and Ethical Considerations
- Written defamation of character is termed libel.
- Contraindication refers to situations where a drug or procedure may cause harm to a patient.
Patient Care
- Antihistamines should be administered if a patient displays urticaria (hives).
- Careful explanation of procedures to patients is the best way to control voluntary motion during imaging.
Infection Control
- Vector refers to the transmission of infections through insects, such as ticks and mosquitoes.
- An object, like a fomite, that has come into contact with infectious organisms poses an infection risk.
Imaging and Radiographic Techniques
- Sterile means that an object is free from all microorganisms.
- The IV bag should be positioned 18 to 20 inches above the level of the vein to prevent backflow and clot formation.
- The smallest gauge number corresponds to the largest lumen in a needle.
- The lateral-medial erect position of the foot demonstrates the long arch.
- In the AP axial projection of the skull, a 30° caudal angle illustrates the occipital bone.
Anatomy and Positioning
- Each lung is encased in the pleura within the thoracic cavity.
- The trachea is located anteriorly to the esophagus.
- The manubrial notch is at the T2-T3 interspace.
- The gallbladder in an asthenic patient is positioned inferior and medial.
- Petrous pyramids are demonstrated completely within the orbits in a PA position when OML and CR are perpendicular to the IR.
Specific Imaging Positions
- RPO or LAO positions show the right axillary ribs clearly.
- The medial oblique 45° ankle projection best visualizes the distal tibiofibular joint.
- For separating the radial head and neck from the ulna in the elbow, lateral or external oblique positioning is required.
- The sternoclavicular joint is best imaged using a slightly oblique PA position with the affected side against the IR.
Motion and Image Quality
- Voluntary motion control is crucial for quality imaging; reassurance and clear communication with the patient are effective strategies.
