Rationale: A few different methods that can be applied to image the intercondylar fossa. Camp Coventry safely places the patient prone. The leg is flexed 40 degrees and the CR is angled 40-50 degrees caudal to intersect perpendicular with the lower leg. Camp Coventry, also known as the tunnel view, utilizes a PA axial projection.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
