File talk:Wilms Tumor CTScan.gif

Left vs. Right orientation

The CT scan on this page shows a tumor in the right kidney, not the left kidney (as stated before). CT scans are read in cross-sectional slices as if the patient were lying on a bed, feet facing you; therefore, the left side of the image corresponds to the patient's right side. This orientation is also consistent with the position of the aorta and aortic arch, liver, et cetera in this particular scan. I have edited the page accordingly (not the Polish part, since I don't know how to do that, sorry). --Shrimppesto (talk) 06:21, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
