Finger/Hand

Select the 2nd digit PIP and 4th digit DIP.

What is the most common patient position when imaging the fingers or hand?

• Standing

• Supine

• Seated

• Recumbent

Select all that apply: Extending the digit(s) prevents...

• foreshortening of digit

• Rotation of digit

• Open IP joints

• Closed IP joints

Where is the CR centered in this projection?

• 2nd PIP

• 3rd DIP

• 3rd MCP

• 2nd MCP

What projection is the thumb positioned for?

• PA

• PA OBL

• Lateral

• AP

For the lateral projection of the 4th digit, what side of the hand is against the IR?

• Medial side

• Lateral side

When performing a PA Obl hand projection, the digits are positioned

• parallel to IR

• with finger tips touching IR

• So that the IP joints are parallel to IR

• So that the IP joints are perpendicular to the CR

For the AP thumb projection select the bones that are to be included in the image.

• Distal phalanx

• Proximal phalanx

• Metacarpal

• Trapezium

• middle phalanx

An image of a correctly positioned lateral projection of the thumb, the proximal phalanx demonstrates

• Concavity on the anterior aspect

• Concavity on the posterior aspect

• Convexity on the posterior aspect

• Convexity on the anterior aspect

In this lateral projection of a pediatric hand, the scaphoid is positioned

• Posteriorly

• Anteriorly
