Questions and Answers

What adjustment should be made to the head in the lateral erect position?

Position the head so that the occipital bone obscures the posterior arch of the atlas

Ensure the mandible is superimposed over the upper anterior cervical vertebra

Adjust the head to prevent the angle of the mandible from superimposing over the upper anterior cervical vertebra (correct)

Tilt the head backward to better visualize the entire cervical region

What should not occur regarding the angle of the mandible when positioning the patient?

Mandible angle can be adjusted to improve image quality

Mandible angle superimposition is acceptable in basic positioning

The angle of the mandible should not obscure the cervical vertebrae (correct)

The angle of the mandible should be aligned with the occipital bone

What is a key consideration when positioning the head in a lateral erect position?

The patient should be angled at 90 degrees to the imaging receptor

The head should be tilted forward to maximize view of the cervical spine

The occipital bone should completely cover the atlas region

The angle of the mandible must not obscure any cervical structure (correct)
