@Monika Czy to axial było jako view (projekcja), czy jako wynik?

The Three Different Knee X-ray Views

The three most common views used during a knee X-ray are:

anteroposterior (known as AP)
lateral
skyline

The AP view is looking at the knee, held straight, from directly in front. This view is generally the easiest to understand as it looks like the skeleton we are familiar with. The kneecap is difficult to see in this view as it is overlapping the thigh bone. It can only be seen as a faint outline. The AP view is helpful in diagnosing arthritis in the knee joint between the thigh and shin bones. It can also show whether there is arthritis in the inside or outside of the knee.

The lateral view is taken perpendicular to the AP, showing the side of the knee. It clearly displays the kneecap and is most useful for diagnosing arthritis between the kneecap and the thigh bone.

The skyline view looks between the kneecap and the thigh bone. It is taken with the knee bent (about 30 degrees) and is used to diagnose arthritis. It is much less common. Only about 30% of orthopedic surgeons use this view during a routine examination.
