Carpus Radiology

Technice
The projections lateromedial, oblique and dorsopalmar are performed by directing the beam parallel to the ground. For this, the patient should be fully supported by the metacarpal and the radius as vertical as possible. It may also be useful to carpal lateromedial view with the limb in flexion.
For skyline views should raise the tip slightly bent, leaving the pastern horizontal to the ground and radio algulación different depending on the anatomical part that we want to wean. The beam is directed dorsoproximal-dorsodistalmente at an angle of 30 °, 45 ° or 65 ° to the horizontal.

 

Projections
- Projection lateromedial (LM): You must display the radio, the proximal and distal rows of carpal bones with their overlapping components, accessory carpal bone palmarly and three  metacarpal bones (proximal). Well defined three joints: radiocarpal, intercarpal and carpometacarpal.
- In dorsopalmar projection (DP) we can identify whether each of the bones of the proximal and distal rows of carpal bones. The accessory carpal bone appears superimposed.
- Projections-dorsolateral and dorsomedial-palmarolateral palmaromedial oblique (DLPMO And DMPLO) and as was the case in the pastern will make different angles depending on the structures we want to wean.
-The flexed lateromedial projection is very useful if we study the joint faces of the various structures and the space between them.
- Dorsoproximaldorsodistal oblique projections (DPxDDO) or skylinesirven to independently evaluate the distal radius, proximal row and the distal row of carpal bones in the cranial portion.
