Special projections include a Lateral with Flexion and Extension of the cervical spine, an Axial for C1-C2 (Fuchs or Judd method), and an AP Axial (Caudad) for articular pillars. Thoracic Spine - AP and Lateral in the UK. [15] In the US, an AP and Lateral are basic projections.
Like all methods of radiography, chest radiography employs ionizing radiation in the form of X-rays to generate images of the chest. The mean radiation dose to an adult from a chest radiograph is around 0.02 mSv (2 mrem ) for a front view (PA, or posteroanterior) and 0.08 mSv (8 mrem) for a side view (LL, or latero-lateral). [ 1 ]
A transverse plane (also known as axial or horizontal plane) is parallel to the ground; it separates the superior from the inferior, or the head from the feet. The transverse planes identified in Terminologia Anatomica are the transpyloric plane , the subcostal plane , the transumbilical (or umbilical) plane , the supracristal plane , the ...
The labeled compound, called a radiotracer or radioligand, is injected into the bloodstream and eventually makes its way to the brain through blood circulation. Detectors in the PET scanner detect the radioactivity as the compound charges in various regions of the brain.
Proximity labeling methods have been used to study the proteomes of biological structures that are otherwise difficult to isolate purely and completely, such as cilia, [11] mitochondria, [6] postsynaptic clefts, [2] p-bodies, stress granules, [12] and lipid droplets.
Automatic label placement, sometimes called text placement or name placement, comprises the computer methods of placing labels automatically on a map or chart. This is related to the typographic design of such labels .
In physics, Fujikawa's method is a way of deriving the chiral anomaly in quantum field theory. It uses the correspondence between functional determinants and the partition function , effectively making use of the Atiyah–Singer index theorem .
The tectorial membrane of atlanto-axial joint (occipitoaxial ligaments) is a tough membrane/ [1] broad, strong band [2] representing the superior-ward prolongation of the posterior longitudinal ligament (the two being continuous). [3] [1] [2] It attaches inferiorly onto (the posterior aspect of [2]) the body of axis. [3] It broadens superiorly.
