Which two structures of the large intestine are demonstrated primarily with the PA oblique projection, LAO position? Left colic flexure and descending colon
To which level of the patient should the IR be centered for the PA oblique projection, LAO position? Iliac crests
Which portions of the large intestine are of prime interest with the lateral projection Sigmoid and rectum
TRUE OR FALSE The entire colon should be demonstrated for the AP projection. TRUE
The AP oblique projection, LPO position, produces an image similar to the ____________ projection (____________ position). PA oblique projection RAO position
Large intestine: For the AP oblique projection, LPO position, which side of the patient (right or left) should be elevated away from the x-ray table? RIGHT
Which flexure (right colic or left colic) should be well demonstrated with the AP oblique projection, LPO position? Right colic flexure
How many degrees should the patient be rotated from the supine position for the AP oblique projection, RPO position? 35 to 45

Which portion of the large intestine continues along the left side of the body until it curves to form the sigmoid colon?

The transverse colon continues as the descending colon. The two are demarcated at the splenic flexure. The descending colon is a retroperitoneal organ and related to paracolic gutters on either side. It terminates into the sigmoid colon, which is the fifth part of the large intestine.

Which two structures of the large intestine are demonstrated primarily with the PA oblique projection Lao position?

Which 2 structures of the large intestine are demonstrated primarily with the PA oblique projection, LAO position? PA Oblique Projection, RAO position of the large intestine. PA Oblique Projection, LAO position of the large intestine.

Which portion of the large intestine is demonstrated on the PA projection?

Positioning LGI.

What is the term of the large intestine that is on the left side?

The descending colon follows the transverse colon and splenic flexure. It is on the left side of the abdomen. The sigmoid colon is the last part of the colon and connects to the rectum.
