Babygram

Hereby it should first be established that in young infants the so-called babygram (consisting of one anterior-posterior view and one lateral view) of the skeleton should be considered obsolete and an error of judgement.

An antero-posterior total-body radiograph (babygram) is most helpful. However, due to contractures or post mortem stiffening of the body, a postero-anterior babygram may be preferable to antero-posterior babygram.
