What position/projection do you see the scotty dogs? Can you name the parts?

You see the scotty dogs on the oblique L-spine views.
The ear is the superior articulating process.
The transverse process is the nose.
The pedicle is the eye.
The pars interartularis is the neck,& the
inferior articulating process is the leg.

Along the scotty dog line.....what is the best way to determine if you've under- or overrotated a patient on an oblique view I know by looking it up that if the pedicle (eye) of the dog is located anteriorly on the vertebral body that it is underrotated. But how can I engrave that in my brain! I just can't picture this one in my brain as well as others!
TIA!!

On a perfect oblique lumbar, the eye of the scotty dog should be in the middle of the vertebral body. Just remember if the vertebral body is in front of the scotty dog it is overrotated. If you remember that then you will automatically figure out the underrotation. Hope that helps.

You're knowledgable on that - what book is it in?

The name of the textbook is "Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy" by Kenneth Bontrager. We use this book now instead of the Merill's.
