Peer comment(s):

neutral Joseph Tein : Hi Cristina. This adds some nice details and explanations ... but note that the source text mentions "disegno polmonare." This is a chest X-ray, not abdominal.

AP supine (view)

This is a very common description of the view of the X-ray (which way the X-rays go through the person's body).

"Acute abdominal series is a set of abdominal radiographs obtained to evaluate bowel gas. The usual projections for this series are AP supine view (to estimate the amount of bowel gas or possible distension), PA erect view (to assess air-fluid levels), and PA erect chest radiograph (to rule out free air) "

Please note that I've used examples that mention the abdomen ("abdominal" radiographs). They are just for illustration of the AP supine phrasing. We are not dealing with abdominal X-rays here; this is a chest X-ray.

New example text:

"The supine anteroposterior chest view is the alternative to the PA view and the AP erect view when the patient is generally too unwell to tolerate standing, leaving the bed, or sitting. "

" Image: An AP supine chest X-ray of a 16-year-old involved in an ATV rollover "

Lots of examples of AP supine, in the context of a chest X-ray, can be found online.
