English to Spanish Medical
Could that be "Lateral /swimmers"? Sentence goes: "RADIOLOGY - C-SPINE: lateral/swimers no fx". Don't think it's talking of dolphins...Is it about epicondilitis? No effects? ¿Y cómo decimos todo eso por estos andurriales? 9 more questions to come! :-0

Proyecciones lateral y de Swimmers: ausencia de fracturas

Lateral y Swimmers (nombre propio: proyección de Swimmers) son diferentes proyecciones para hacer radiografías de columna vertebral, es decir diferentes ángulos para sacar la "foto".
Te envío una referencia, Roigé ;-))
Fx es fractura.
Un saludo :-)

lateral/vista "swimmers" sin fractura

These are x-ray views of the C-spine. I can´t find a "swimmers" or "nadador" view described in Spanish. It might be safer just to put the "swimmer" in English.

Week 4: Cardinal features of the plain cervical spine
... The lowermost extent of C spine showed on the lateral film is determined. If this
is not to T1, the two obliques and/or swimmers views are assessed. Overlap ...

1 Number and type of films for assessment:

The standard C spine series (RMH) consists of:
lateral (LAT) - view toward the side of the cervical spine,
frontal - anterior view on the cervical spine,
peg view - posterior view on the cervical spine,
two obliques.
If the lateral does not cover to T1 a swimmers view is added to the serie. WH does not routinely do swimmer's views but relies on long obliques (to cover well below C-T junction). Either approach is acceptable.

Hope this helps.

fx--fractura

There is no doubt that "fx" in this case is referring to "fracture". This is used all the time. An x-ray is done, there is no fracture seen. The lateral and swimmers are the actual views of the x-rays.
See the reference below.
