Thoracic spine - lateral canine veterinary X-ray positioning guide


Positioning

In lateral recumbency
Ensure spine parallel to cassette/table top
Use sponges under sternum to prevent rotation
Pull thoracic limbs cranially
Centre over T6-T7
Collimate to include entire thoracic spine, including spinous processes
Ensure L/R marker in primary beam.
What to look for
Ensure the entire spinous processes are seen, and the spine is not rotated.
Top tips
Foam pads under the sternum reduce rotation; also padding under the lumbar spine can often help straighten out the thoracic spine better.
