    Study Notes

    Medical Imaging Division Overview

    • Focus on evaluating diagnostic images of upper and lower extremities.
    • Critical learning objectives include applying image critique skills.

    Image Evaluation Criteria

    • Evaluate based on patient data, technical quality, anatomical content, and pathological outcome.
    • Essential patient data includes ID, name, number, and date.

    Image Quality Assessment

    • Key parameters: Density (controlled by mAs) and Contrast (controlled by kVp).
    • Factors impacting image quality: Scatter, kVp, X-ray tube filtration, and collimation.
    • Consider motion blur and artifacts from the patient or imaging chain.

    Anatomical Content Evaluation

    • Assess whether all anatomy is visible, if pathologies are present, and if clinical questions are addressed.
    • Determine necessity for supplementary views based on findings.

    X-ray Image Terminology

    • Radio-opaque: Areas appearing white on X-ray due to high radiation absorption.
    • Radiolucent: Areas appearing black/dark due to lower radiation absorption.

    X-ray Orientation

    • Antero-posterior (AP): X-ray beam directed from front to back.
    • Postero-anterior (PA): X-ray beam directed from back to front.
    • Supine: Patient lying on their back; Prone: Patient lying on their front; Erect: Patient standing upright.
    • Lateral: Patient positioned on their side; Oblique: Patient rotated.

    Anatomical Orientation Terms

    • Proximal: Anatomy close to body midline.
    • Distal: Anatomy away from body midline.
    • Carpal bones are more proximal than phalanges.

    Bones of the Hand

    • Naming convention: Thumb (1), Index (2), Middle (3), Ring (4), Little (5).
    • Key parts of metacarpals: Head, Neck, Shaft, Base, Distal Phalanx, Epiphyseal Line.

    Carpal Bones Mnemonic

    • Mnemonic: "So Long To Pinky" corresponds to:
      • Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetral, Pisiform (Proximal row).
      • Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate (Distal row).

    Specific Carpal Bones

    • Proximal row bones include:
      • Scaphoid (most commonly fractured), Lunate (moon-shaped), Triquetrum (hides pisiform), Pisiform (anterior).
    • Distal row bones include:
      • Trapezium (under thumb), Trapezoid, Capitate (largest), Hamate (hook-like process).

    Distal Radius and Ulna

    • Key parts: Radial styloid (RS), Ulnar styloid (US), Lunate (L).
    • Radius and ulna are superimposed in lateral views.

    Bony Terminology

    • Tuberosity: Roughened bone area for muscle attachment (e.g., radial tuberosity).
    • Fossa: Depressed area of bone (e.g., olecranon fossa), not part of a joint.
    • Condyle: Rounded articular surface (e.g., femoral condyle).
    • Epicondyle: Rounded area superior to condyle.
