Who discovered xrays? |
Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen, 1895. |
German Physicist |
|
Prone position |
Placed on abdomen, head turned to one side |
|
|
Supine position |
Positioned on back with face upward. |
|
|
Oblique view |
Positioned at an angle or in semi- lateral position |
|
|
Left lateral (LL) |
Left side of body is positioned next to the radiographic film. Xrays are directed through the body from right to left side. |
|
|
Right lateral (RL) |
Right side of body is positioned next to radiographic film. Xrays are directed through the body from left to right side. |
|
|
Lateral view |
Xray beam passes from one side of the body to opposite side. (Arms must be out of the way) |
|
|
Posteroanterior (PA) view |
(Chest) the xrays are directed from the back toward the front of the body. The patient is positioned with the posterior (back) aspect of the body facing the radiographic tube and anterior (front) aspect facing the radiographic film. |
|
|
Anteroposterior (AP) view |
The xrays are directed from the front toward the back of the body. The patient is positioned with the posterior (back) aspect of the body facing the radiographic tube and the anterior (front) aspect facing the radiographic film. |
|
|
Bronchogram |
Radiograph of the lungs after introduction of radiopaque contrast Medium |
|
|
Angiocardiogram |
Radiograph of the heart in which valves and vessels are examined with radiography and fluoroscopy after and introduction of contrast Medium
|
|
|
Cerebral angiogram |
Radiograph of the major arteries of the brain after an injection of radiopaque contrast Medium |
|
|
Chest radiograph |
Radiograph of the chest that does not use a contrast medium |
|
|
Cholangiogram |
Radiograph of the bile ducts after administration of radiopaque contrast Medium |
|
|

Examination of upper GI tract using fluoroscopy and radiography. |
|
|
Intravenous Pyelography |
Radiograph of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. |
|
|
Computed Tomography |
CT scan. Advanced radiographic examination that uses only a minimal amount of radiation. Cross sectional images of body parts are produced. |
|
|
MRI |
Used for imaging tissues of high fat and water content that cannot be seen with other radiologic techniques. |
|
|
Nuclear medicine |
Advanced diagnostic imaging procedure in which a tiny bit of radioactive material introduced to the patient. |
