Summary
Highlights
AP Projection Supine (KUB)00:00:41
Discusses the AP supine projection, often used for KUB (Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder). Emphasizes centering the image receptor at the iliac crest and suspending respiration at the end of expiration to prevent abdominal organ compression.
AP Projection Upright00:05:18
Explains the AP upright projection, which is primarily used to demonstrate air-fluid levels in the abdomen that cannot be seen in the supine position.
PA Projections and Left Lateral00:07:22
Covers the optional PA projection for radiation protection and details the AP left lateral position, which helps visualize specific abdominal structures and potential pathologies.
Lateral Projection00:17:47
Focuses on the true lateral projection. Explains how to position the patient to ensure no rotation and highlights its use in demonstrating the pre-vertebral space.
Lateral Decubitus Projection00:20:29
Details the lateral decubitus projection, a crucial technique used when a patient is unable to stand upright, specifically for demonstrating air-fluid levels and identifying the anterior or posterior location of masses.
