Term
| Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for an enlarged heart? |
|
Definition
| To view an enlarged heart you must do an DV inspiration, that what you have best and smallest view of the heart. The beam would go through the tip of the patient and exit out its thoracic vertebrae. |

Term
| Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for a gastric dilation volvulus? |
|
Definition
| The patient needs to be in R lateral recumbency, so the beam needs to enter on the R and exit out the L so more of the stomach which is on the L is on the radiograph. |
|

Term
| Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for phalanges distal to the radius? |

Definition
| Dorsopalmar view of the foot. The beam would go from the top of the foot to the bottom of the foot hence dorsopalmar. |
|
|
Term
| Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for a joint proximal to the femur? |
|
Definition
| Since this is the coccygeofemoral joint, the patient needs to be in a ventrodorsal hip-extended view. The beam would enter thru this joint and could the other end. |
|
|
Term
| Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for an injury to the neck? |
|
Definition
| Hopefully, without hurting the patient even more, place the patient in a natural lateral view. The beam will enter the C4 vertebrae and exit the opposite side. |
|
|
Term
| Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for an injury to the pelvis? |
|
Definition
| Without putting the patient in even more pain, place the animal in a ventrodorsal hip-extended view used a V-trough if needed. The beam will enter the midline at the caudal portion of the ischium and exit the dorsal side of the pelvis. |
|
|
Term
| Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for a stifle injury? |
|
Definition
| Hopefully, without hurting the patient even more, place him in a natural lateral (mediolateral) view with the affected leg down and the unaffected leg up. The beam should enter over the indentation of the stifle joint and then exit out the other side of the stifle joint. |
|
|
Term
| Explain what views are needed to identify the following structures and where the primary beam enters and exits for a skull fracture? |
|
Definition
| Hopefully, without damaging the skull further, place the patient in a dorsoventral view. Have the beam enter either between the two lateral canthi of the eyes on the sagittal crest. and come out the other side or on the area of interest. |
