When these anatomical points are distinct in theskiagraph, sufficient differentiation has been obtained, as a rule, to determinethe presence or absence of a calculus. The most common situation for a calculus is in the angle formed by. thelast rib and the spinal column. A light shadow with rather a definite borderin that situation should always be viewed with suspicion. Occasionally theshadow of a calculus will be found midway between the tip of the last rib and 570 THE USE OF THE X-RAY IN DETECTING CALCULI. the crest of the ilium. In such cases the abnormal position is due to a prolapseof the kidney. Any suggestive shadow lying externally to the twelfth rib may
