Answer to Question 1

Camp Coventry method

Rationale: A few different methods that can be applied to image the intercondylar fossa. Camp Coventry safely places the patient prone. The leg is flexed 40 degrees and the CR is angled 40-50 degrees caudal to intersect perpendicular with the lower leg. Camp Coventry, also known as the tunnel view, utilizes a PA axial projection.
