Hi - it's me again. Patient with partial bowel obstruction had X/rays done - flat and "decube." Is he trying to say the patient got a KUB? I've never heard it pronounced as "cube" before - could be "a cube."

Thanks for your input - hope winter is treating you all well. It's cold here in WY but we don't have nearly enough snow - again!

Take care!
Amy

Hi Amy:

I think what he might be referring to is flat and decubitus films. You chould check this site.

We have snow here!! It is pretty and as long as I don't have to drive in it, I love it.

Bridget - Thanks for your help - again! It's so nice to come here and have such helpful ears to help me out once in a while - decubitus is correct, although he does call it a "decube" - good to know for future reference!

Thanks again!
Amy
