A lateral view is a 90° degree view performed medial to lateral or lateral to medial. In mammography, lateral views are used for triangulation with the craniocaudal view of the breast and to demonstrate microcalcifications dependent on gravity.

(FOV) The field of view is the maximum diameter of the area of the scanned object that is represented in the reconstructed image. It can also be the surface of the used detector.

The craniocaudal view is routinely used for mammography. The vertical x-ray beam is directed from cranial to caudal through the breast.

The mediolateral view is one of the common routine views for mammography in addition to the craniocaudal view. The image receptor of the mammography system is placed lateral to the breast, and the horizontal x-ray beam is directed from medial to lateral through the breast.

MD-Gastroview® (solution of 660 mg diatrizoate meglumine and 100 mg diatrizoate sodium Solution) is an iodinated oral contrast agent with lemon-vanilla-flavor. MD-Gastroview® is water-soluble and suitable for oral or rectal administration.
MD-Gastroview® is indicated for radiographic and CT examination of the esophagus, stomach, proximal small intestine and colon, when a barium sulfate suspension is not feasible or contraindicated.
A usual adult dose for abdominal CT is 240 mL of a solution prepared by diluting 25 mL (9.17 g iodine) to one liter with tap water. Less dilute solutions [up to 77 mL (28.26 g iodine) diluted to one liter with tap water] may be used when indicated. The dose is administered orally about 15 to 30 minutes prior to imaging in order to permit the contrast medium to reach the pelvic loops.
