Study Notes
PA Hand
- Central Ray (CR) is at the 3rd metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP).
- Positioning involves placing the patient at a 90-degree angle to the table, with the hand pronated and fingers extended on the image receptor (IR).
- Collimation should include the distal wrist area.
- Breathing should be at normal respiration.
- Shielding is recommended for patient safety.
- Structures visible include PA projections of the 2nd through 5th digits and an oblique view of the 1st digit.
PA Oblique Hand
- CR is directed to the 3rd MCP joint.
- Position the patient at a 90-degree angle and rotate the hand laterally by 45 degrees, ensuring all fingers are on the IR.
- Collimation should extend to the distal wrist.
- Normal respiration is required for breathing instruction.
- Recommended shielding for patient safety.
- Recognized structures include the PA oblique projection of the hand.
Lateral Hand
- CR is at the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP).
- Place patient at a 90-degree angle with the hand in a lateral position, fingers either extended or in a fan position.
- Collimation to include the distal wrist is essential.
- Breathing is performed at normal respiration.
- Shielding is recommended for patient safety.
- Key structures seen include superimposed carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges; phalanges are shown without superimposition when in a fanned position.
PA Wrist
- The central ray is directed at the midcarpals.
- Patient positioning is at a 90-degree angle with the hand pronated on the IR, fingers rolled in.
- Collimation should reach 2.5 inches beyond the wrist.
- Breathing instructions specify normal respiration.
- Recommended shielding for protection.
- Structures visualized include PA projection of carpal bones, proximal metacarpals, and distal ulna and radius.
PA Oblique Wrist
- Positioning is similar to previous wrist projections with slight overlap of the distal radius and ulna.
- Well-demonstrated structures include the scaphoid and trapezium.
- Anatomy visualized includes distal radius and ulna, carpals, and proximal half of metacarpals.
