Intro to X-RaysIntro to X-RaysUpper Cervical Chair
◦ The X-Ray Chair runs on a series of linear bearing guides. It has 9" of cross travel, 30" of longitudinal travel and rotates a full 360 degrees. It can be locked in any position and has an adjustable back rest.

Intro to X-RaysIntro to X-RaysLateral
◦ 10”x12”◦ Central Ray @ C1- C2◦ 42”
Purpose ◦ To obtain the S or I line of the atlas◦ Tells if the atlas has gone inferior or superior◦ To determine where to take the nasium

Intro to X-RaysIntro to X-RaysNasium
◦ 10”x12”◦ Central Ray(determined by the S-Line)◦ 42”
Purpose◦ Determined atlas laterality (Right or Left)◦ Lower angle and upper angle to determine
which type◦ Determine APL, A/O, C/A, Ang, Atl, OD, BC,
Sp ◦ Calculations for height vector (High or Low)◦ Spinous rotation of C2 to determine if torque
is needed
