title: The "Freddy frog" lateral view of the chest in children. A preliminary report.
abstract: A special new lateral view of the chest, called the "Freddy Frog" view, was used in 50 children between the ages of 5 and 7 years. This resulted in optimal demonstration of the superior mediastinal and superior bony structures without superficial overlying soft tissues and can replace the separate lateral views of the neck and chest in cases of stridor.
