Lateral chest X-ray Let’s take a second to try to understand why it is that theheart appears bigger than normal on AP studies. Imagine you are holding a flashlight, pointing it so that the circle of light appears against a white wall a foot away from you. Now imagine holding a pen ...
aA detail view from a frontal chest radiograph shows a normal mediastinum at the level of the aortic arch (AA). The right lateral border is delimited by the faint opacity of the superior vena cava (SVC) (arrowheads). The SVC normally has a straight outer contour and lower opacity than the...
Normal left lateral chest radiograph. A clear space is present behind the sternum (solid white arrow). The hila produce no discrete shadow (white circle). The vertebral bodies are approximately of equal height and their endplates are parallel to each other (double white arrows). The posterior ...
Radiography Technique Projections The standard radiographic views for evaluation of the chest are the posteroanterior (PA) and lateral projections with the patient standing; such projections provide the essential requirement for proper three-dimensional
The previous study showed that humeral head retroversion in Asian populations was greater than in Western populations.2 However, this study was unable to measure the humeral head version due to the lack of distal humerus imaging in Chest CT. Indonesian glenoid height is the greatest among other ...
The issue of target motion due to breathing is reduced by placing the animals supine so that the chest can expand freely however, the posterior elements of the vertebral bone are highly irregular especially in comparison to the skull surface. In rats, an average of about a 33% signal loss ...

LU proved to be a valid alternative to computed tomography (CT) scan and a better choice than chest X-ray (CXR) to detect lung involvement in Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) [2,3,4]. This is not only due to its diagnostic performances, but also to its wide availability and pot...
3.3. X-ray Attenuation and Enhancement Observations concerning X-ray attenuation before and after contrast administration on the totality of ALs (n= 402) are reported inTable 3according to AL body weight categories. No significant relationship between X-ray attenuation and continuous values of BW wa...
