STUDIES ON LATERAL RADIOGRAPHY OF THE THORACIC VERTEBRA

Abstract

Oblique radiography is generally performed for the purpose of observation of lateral portion of the thoracic vertebrae, especiall the upper, but lateral radiography, by which the body of vertebra can be observed more accurately, is more valuable for radiographic diagnosis of tuberculosis of bones such as caries of the thoracic vertebra than saggital radiography. I performed this radiography and studied in various ways.
