Patients suffering from the end-stage kidney disease, treated with peritoneal dialysis in Department of Nephrology, Transplantology and Internal Medicine, Medical University of Gdansk, have been investigated. During the procedure the patient lays in the supine position (Figure 1). Three markers are placed on both sides of the patient on the horizontal plane in order to identify the patient position in 3D space during the measurements. The procedure described here starts when the patient’s abdominal cavity is emptied from previous liquid (position 0). A regular net of points 2 × 2 cm is marked on the abdomen for displacements field identification (Figure 1). A region of an indwelling catheter is excluded as it is covered by a bandage. During a routine peritoneal dialysis a maximum of 2000 ml of dialysis fluid is infused into the peritoneal cavity through an indwelling catheter. Intraabdominal pressure is measured by a graduated column (cm) bounding to the abdominal cavity through the catheter (see Dejardin et al. 2007) when the abdomen is filled by liquid (position 1).

The patient lies in the supine position. The trunk is rotated slightly and then supported with pads to allow the side of the face being examined to come in contact with a CR cassette, which is supported using a thin wedge foam pad.The median sagittal plane should be parallel to the CR cassette and the inter-pupillary line perpendicular to both of these.The neck may be flexed slightly to clear the mandible from the spine.The long axis of the CR cassette should be parallel to the long axis of the mandible and the lower border positioned 2 cm below the lower border of the mandible.

Supine Position. This equilibration position (body horizontal with face up) may be used if the region of thermal interest is limited to the anterior of the face, neck, body, legs, and feet (including the soles). Images of the entire posterior body portion from scalp to heels (including the Achilles tendons) will be compromised due to the table affecting heat losses. If the arms distal to the elbow are extended off the side of the table and the hands relaxed, those exposed portions may be imaged with the negligible artifact. The supine position allows the subject to relax fully during equilibration, especially if a pillow is provided and a bolster is placed under the knees.

Pd work postures were introduced to all the 50 dentists and the differences between the two work postures, clearly explained before starting the study. The major differences between the two work postures are: a) The Pd concept focuses on dentist’s body positions, movements, contact with the instruments and overall comfort levels that can be easily achieved and advantageous than conventional approach. b) The position of the patient in the Pd concept (flat supine position), and the clinicians’ upright posture and with minimal equipment adjustability in the PD concept makes the clinician work more accurately, more efficiently and with less physical and mental wear.

All radiographs were taken in the emergency room using a standard position. Patients were put in a supine position, with the hips and knees flexed. The affected limb was positioned in its natural position, with slight exorotation of the foot.
