The posted lateral thoracic spine is not shown correctly
editAll lateral x-rays should be facing to the patients right, viewer's left. This is standard practice for imaging.

Role of antidepressants
editA 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)
Second example image: right or left?
editIn 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)
