1 From the Department of Radiology, Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center, Los Angeles, California
A simple standardized technique for the detection and visualization of otherwise hidden apical and subapical pulmonary disease is described.
The additional information obtained warrants the more general and frequent use of these views as an adjunct to the routine posteroanterior chest examination.
The advantages over previously described methods include technical simplicity and easy reproducibility when repeated comparative examinations are necessary. The examination can be performed in the erect or recumbent position with no patient discomfort. The resultant roentgenograms are obtained with a minimum of anatomic distortion.
