Our data suggest that elective induction of labour at term (at 37 weeksâ gestation or more) is associated with a decreased odds of perinatal death without an associated decrease in spontaneous vertex delivery. However, there was an increased risk of neonatal admission to a special care unit.
Thoracic spine x-ray. A thoracic spine x-ray is an x-ray of the twelve chest (thoracic) bones (vertebrae). The vertebrae are separated by flat pads of cartilage called disks that provide a cushion between the bones. The test is done in a hospital radiology department or in the health care provider's office.
1 Fifth thoracic vertebrae (T5) : The T5 and T4 vertebrae are at the same levels as the sternal angle. 2  The trachea branches into the two main bronchi at the level of T5. 3  The thoracic spinal nerve 5 passes through underneath T5. 4  Sixth thoracic vertebrae (T6) : The thoracic spinal nerve 6 passes through underneath T6.here are 12 thoracic vertebrae (denoted as T1-T12) found in adult humans, and they are situated in between the cervical and lumbar vertebrae, with a general sizing larger than the cervical but smaller than the lumbar vertebrae.
