It has been reported that infants' positions in taking roentgenography have great influence on lung marking and that lying positions result in mose difficult examination than standing positions because in the former lung fields are compressed arud lung markings, condensed mainly due to the elevated diaphragma and transversally dilated heart shadows. Many cases of infants' chest films were examined measuring the hight and vertical and transversal diameter of the thorax, transversal diameter of heart and square measure of the lung field and thorax in either lying or standing position. No significant difference between lying and standing position was found leading us to conclude that lying position as well as standing position will do without resulting in condensed lung marking due to the elevated diaphragm and transversally dilated heart.
