Sonnenkalba Projection

Sonnenkalb projection (also known as sonnenkalb or sonnencaleb projection) is a type of x-ray that is used to diagnose bone and joint diseases. This type of projection was developed by German radiologist Willi Sonnenkalb in 1940.

The Sonnenkalb projection is one of the most popular projections in medicine. It allows you to obtain a three-dimensional image of bones and joints. This allows doctors to more accurately diagnose diseases and carry out more effective treatment procedures.

To obtain sonnenkalb projections, the patient is placed on a special table, which is then rotated 45 degrees. The patient then takes a deep breath and holds his breath. At this time, the doctor takes x-rays in different table positions.

After processing the images, the doctor can see any changes in the bones and joints that may indicate the presence of diseases. The Sonnenkalb projection can be used to diagnose various bone diseases such as osteoporosis, arthritis, osteomyelitis, as well as to diagnose joint diseases such as arthrosis and synovitis.

In addition, the sonnenkalb projection can be used to diagnose other diseases, such as diseases of the lungs, heart and other organs. However, for this it is necessary to use special body scanning devices.



The Sonneckalb Projection is a method of x-ray examination of the cervical spine. This method is named after Dr. Hans Sonneckalbe, the German radiologist who introduced it.

The Sonnenkalb projection is one of the methods of radiography of the cervical spine to determine the condition of the vertebrae by the signs of the erased edges of their processes and the angles between them. It is used mainly when examining children over 4 years of age with thoracic scoliosis and spinal cord malformations.

The Sonnenkalff projection involves the patient sitting with his head bowed and his chin raised. In front of it, an X-ray beam is directed through the parietal point of the head directly at the frontal eye source, pressed tightly to the head, after which images are taken. The image acquisition is a very accurate digital
