Which toes do you X-ray for lateral/external oblique - CORRECT ANSWER - 4th -5th
digits
What is tube angle for AP foot and why - CORRECT ANSWER - 10 degrees, because the
foot has an arch and you want tube perpendicular to to the surface of foot

40 degrees
internal/medial oblique foot demonstrates - CORRECT ANSWER - Navicular, 3rd
cuneiform, cuboid, and distal calcaneus
,MGRADES
internal/medial oblique foot shows - CORRECT ANSWER - 3-5 metatarsals are free from
bony superimposition
Lateral foot CR - CORRECT ANSWER - To 1st cuneiform
Lateral foot demonstrates - CORRECT ANSWER - Calcaneus
Lateral WB foot demonstrates - CORRECT ANSWER - Longitudinal arches
Plantodorsal or Axial Projection Calcaneous tube - CORRECT ANSWER - 40 degree
angle
Plantodorsal or Axial Projection Calcaneous tube CR - CORRECT ANSWER - Base of
3rd metatarsal
Lateral calcaneus CR - CORRECT ANSWER - 1.5" inferior to medial malleolus
AP ankle CR - CORRECT ANSWER - midway between malleoli
AP ankle, how will intermalleolar line be - CORRECT ANSWER - Not parallel to IR
Internal oblique ankle CR - CORRECT ANSWER - Center to a point midway between the
malleoli
Internal oblique ankle shows - CORRECT ANSWER - distal fibula is visualized free from
bony superimposition, can see Potts fracture
Lateral ankle CR - CORRECT ANSWER - medial malleolus
, MGRADES
Why do a lateral WB foot - CORRECT ANSWER - To demonstrate the integrety of
longitudinal arches
Anatomy seen on an internal/medial oblique ankle - CORRECT ANSWER - Distal fibula

Which X-ray shows the intermalleolar line parallel to IR - CORRECT ANSWER - AP
mortise
AP lower leg CR - CORRECT ANSWER - mid lower leg
AP lower leg SID and why - CORRECT ANSWER - SID up to 48" and it reduces
magnification and improves SR
AP knee position - CORRECT ANSWER - internally rotate leg 3-5 degrees, ensure
