Anatomy coverage

C7 (vertebra prominens) through L1.

Tech pearls

  • Breathing technique on lateral blurs ribs and lung markings.
  • Anode heel effect: thicker upper body at cathode end.

Image evaluation

  • AP: spinous processes midline, equal pedicles
  • Lateral: open IV spaces, IV foramina visible

Common mistakes

  • Lateral with breath-hold (ribs sharp, obscures spine)
  • Wrong centering
