AXR

I was looking through the blog, and realised things don't change much. Hence a request for abdominal x ray will be of minimal details.

So what do you look for?

  • pneumoperitoneum

I never got such frank 'air under the diaphragm'. It's usually 1-2mm line. But touche to my medical colleague who spotted it during one of his referrals.
