Bibasal pneumonia means there is pneumonia in the lower lobes of both lungs. The heart and diaphragm and the boney thorax show no signs of problems.
In radiology interpretations, this is terminology meaning that the soft tissue and bony thorax is normal. (Since there are normal age-related changes, the reading is customarily reported with this kind of phrase.)
The bony structures appear normal and without any abnormalities or significant findings.
When referring to a radiographic image, or x-ray, bony thorax is intact simply refers to the bones are present without fracture. This means that there is no pathological condition or abnormalities found.
The scapula
heart, ribs, and sternum
the clavicle
Ribs and sternum
ribs and sternum
The coxa are inferior to the thorax. Both are bony, and can be described as neither superficial nor deep in relation to each other.
The bony thorax protects the heart and liver. Wrong... the bone thorax protects the heart and LUNGS as it also allows the respiratory muscle to create a vacuum that will draw air into the lungs. while the Ribs withing in the bone thorax will protect not only the thoracic organs, but as well the spleen, most of the liver and to some extent the kidneys.
The sternum, or breastbone, is the central bone of the thorax. It lies in the middle of the chest and articulates with the ribs through the costal cartilages.
