Subject: Plain lumbar spine films. See inside.
Little rule I learned a long time ago:
1. Plain as in "plain Jane", no make up, not dressed up and no where to go. So plain x-rays are those who are not augmented by any special dye or anything else such an arthrogram or MRI.
2. Plane as in a space between. A plane for dissection - a place or space to cut into.

It does not sound right to me. clonus does not make sense but I do not type much radiology. Anyone have a clue what else it could be? It does sound like he is saying clonus.??? Thanks

Usually plain x-rays are for example

But, there is a such thing as x-rays taken in the frontal plane, for example. So, I guess it depends on how it is used in a sentence.
