Question

on a lateral lumbar view, what structure will a kidney stone superimpose?
please select your answer...
a vertebral body
b spinous process
c anterior abdomen

Explanation:

On a lateral lumbar view, the kidney is located posterior to the vertebral body. A kidney stone within the kidney will therefore superimpose on the vertebral body as they are in the same plane of projection. The spinous process is more posterior - midline, and the anterior abdomen is anterior to the vertebral body.

Answer:

A. Vertebral body
