In anteroposterior (AP) views, the positions of the x-ray source and detector are reversed: the x-ray beam enters through the anterior aspect and exits through the posterior aspect of the chest. AP chest x-rays are harder to read than PA x-rays and are therefore generally reserved for situations where it is difficult for the patient to get an ...
Tissues commonly imaged include the lungs and heart shadow in a chest X-ray, the air pattern of the bowel in abdominal X-rays, the soft tissues of the neck, the orbits by a skull X-ray before an MRI to check for radiopaque foreign bodies (especially metal), and of course the soft tissue shadows in X-rays of bony injuries are looked at by the ...
Its position is the intersections of the long axes of the four fingers while in a fist, or the base of the thenar eminence. When palpated in this position, the bone will be felt to slide forward during radial deviation (wrist abduction) and flexion. Clicking of the scaphoid or no anterior translation can indicate scapholunate instability.
This burst causes the scaphoid bone to dorsally rotate. [3] A gap of more than 3mm is pathognomonic for scapholunate dissociation. [4] The resulting separation between the scaphoid and lunate bones leaves a space on the x-ray that is similar to the gap comedian Terry-Thomas had between his front teeth.

A) Normal chest radiograph; B) Q fever pneumonia affecting the right lower and middle lobes. Note the loss of the normal radiographic silhouette (contour) between the affected lung and its right heart border as well as between the affected lung and its right diaphragm border. This phenomenon is called the silhouette sign: Differential diagnosis
Chest X-rays most sensitive finding is a widened mediastinum of greater than 8 cm. [4] An apical cap and displacement of the trachea to either side of the chest from midline can also be seen. [9] A normal chest X-ray, however, does not exclude a diagnosis of thoracic aortic injury. [4]
When the X-ray is diagnostic and there is a convincing Terry Thomas sign it is a static scaphoid instability. When the scaphoid is made unstable by either the patient or by manipulation by the examining physician it is a dynamic instability. [11] SNAC. In order to diagnose a SNAC wrist you need a PA view X-ray and a lateral view X-ray.
