All patients underwent bedside chest radiography in the supine position (antero-posterior beam projection) with the use of a commercially available portable apparatus (Mobilett XP Digital, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany).
However, we included bedside CXRs with an anterior-posterior radiation beam and the objective of the present study was to assess pulmonary edema independently of its cause.
The antlers have two basic branches, the anterior or brow tine, and the posterior branch or beam.
A Markov Chain Monte Carlo method is used to reach the optimal SNP partition with maximum posterior probability in BEAM.
Several authors determined criteria to differentiate between cardiogenic, renal, and injury patterns of pulmonary edema with the CRXs being performed predominantly with the patient in an upright position and with a posterior-anterior radiation beam [ 13, 15, 39].
To visualize the joint space properly and to centralize the patella over the lower end of the femur, fluoroscopic guidance with an anterior-posterior X-ray beam was used, and the images were downloaded into Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) format files.
Give a fixed partition, BEAM can get the posterior probability of this partition from SNP data based on Bayes theory.

The knees are at 45° of flexion (25° between the femora and the cassette, and 20° between the tibiae and the cassette), and the X-ray beam is directed posterior to anterior, 10° caudal, so the posterior and the anterior margins of the tibial plateau are superimposed.
Hands/wrists were exposed posterior-anteriorly with the beam centered between the second and third MCP joints and perpendicular to the cassette.
