This document provides positioning guidelines for radiographic imaging of the cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, lumbo-sacral spine, and sacrum. It describes the standard views, patient preparation, positioning, tube and cassette centering, and exposure settings for each anatomical region. Proper patient positioning and radiographic technique are important to obtain diagnostic images while minimizing radiation dose.

Basic Chest X ray Views - AP, PA & Lateral etc . pptxDr Abna J
PA PROJECTION
Sit or stand upright.
Positioned to minimize magnification of the anteriorly positioned heart and consequent obscuration of the lungs.
Make sure the patient is standing straight and is equally distributing the weight of the body on both feet.
The upright position is preferred for the following reasons: It prevents engorgement (an excess of blood) of pulmonary vessels.
It allows full expansion of the lungs
To visualize possible air and fluid levels in the chest.
An upright chest film is preferred over an upright abdominal film for the diagnosis of pneumoperitoneum (free air in the abdominal cavity).
Ask the patient to move the shoulders forward and downward, so that the chest wall and both shoulders are in contact with the cassette. This helps to carry the clavicles below the lung apices.
It is very important to minimize breast shadows.
Ask the patient to pull the breasts upward and laterally (outwards), then remove her hands as she leans against the cassette holder to keep them in position.
Rotation
Even a small degree of rotation distorts the mediastinal borders, and the lung nearest the film will appear less translucent.
The following points should be stressed to obtain a true PA view (without rotation):
Ensure that the patient is standing evenly on both feet.
Both shoulders should be rolled forward and downward.
The chest radiograph should be well centred so that the medial ends of the clavicle are equidistant from the vertebral spinous processes at T4/5.
CENTRAL RAY
Over T7 vertebra
SID: 72 inches
Central ray
Film holder (image receptor) placement
The horizontal dimension of an average chest is greater than the vertical dimension.
This requires that a 14 x 17-inch film holder or image receptor (IR) be placed crosswise.
Or lengthwise depending on body type.
Collimation
The upper border of the illuminated field should be at the level of vertebra prominence (4 cm above the apex of lungs).
This will result in a lower collimation border of 1-2 inches below the costophrenic angle, if the central ray was correctly centred.
A general rule for average adult patients is to show a minimum of 10 ribs on a good PA chest radiograph.
Evaluation criteria for a good PA projection
Entire lung fields from apices to costophrenic angles should be clearly demonstrated.
No rotation. (both the right and left sternal ends of the clavicle will be the same distance from the center line of the spine.)
The direction of rotation can be determined by which sternal end of the clavicle is closest to the spine.
Trachea is visible in midline.
Scapula projected outside the lung fields.
Ten posterior ribs are visible above the diaphragm.
There is a sharp outline of the heart and diaphragm.
A faint shadow of the ribs and superior thoracic vertebrae is visible through the heart shadow.
Lung markings are visible from the hilum to the periphery of the lung.
Variations
An expiratory film may be helpful under some circumstances.

Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility...Sujoy Dasgupta
Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
These simplified slides by Dr. Sidra Arshad present an overview of the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract.
Learning objectives:
1. Enlist the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract
2. Briefly explain how these functions are carried out
3. Discuss the significance of dead space
4. Differentiate between minute ventilation and alveolar ventilation
5. Describe the cough and sneeze reflexes

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
