If a neonate ap chest projection demonstrates the left posterior ribs with greater length than the right posterior ribs. Then rotate the left side of the patient closer to the IR if the positioning setup be changed to obtain an optimal projection.

The supine chest view of the neonatal patient is a common radiographic examination when examining preterm patients . Although not overall technically demanding, the radiographer should allocate time to ensure little to no repeats are required.

Indications for a chest x-ray are far and wide from suspected infection to a pneumothorax. The specific reason why these radiographs are conducted supine is the fact neonates will often stay on the ward (performed mobile) and do not have reliable head control until around 3 months old

  • Arms are placed by the patients' side outside of the field of view or above the head either method is equally effective 2
  • Any leads or lines that can be moved should be transferred out of the image area to improve image quality
  • When performing this examination mobile in a special care nursery or ward, the scattered radiation to nearby neonatal patients and their family must be considered. It is essential to ensure that nearby neonates and family members are invited to leave the room or moved as far away as possible from the x-ray source during exposure.
