The posted lateral thoracic spine is not shown correctly[edit]

All lateral x-rays should be facing to the patients right, viewer's left. This is standard practice for imaging.

Role of antidepressants[edit]

A note about possible pathogenic role of antidepressants was included, without clarification of the specific drugs or pharmacological classes, also lacking any citation. A quick look into a review listed certain vitamin A derivatives as possible agents, but did not mention antidepressants. I changed the article accordingly and added a citation. Sorry about the incorrect form of the citation, could please somebody who is more fluent in Wikipeda correct it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.2.84.135 (talk) 20:06, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Second example image: right or left?[edit]

In the second photo in the examples, File:Thoracic spine AP.png, the caption reads, "Melted candle wax" appearance of calcification and ossification in diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). Note the preponderance on the right side. I'm not a radiologist, but there appears to be more "ectopic" bone on the left side of the patient, which is the right side of the image. Would anyone disagree if I change the wording of the photo to indicate this, or am I misreading the image?--Quisqualis (talk) 15:20, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
