In radiology, SID stands for Source-to-Image Distance. It refers to the distance between the x-ray tube (source) and the image receptor (such as a film or digital detector). This measurement is crucial as it affects image quality, radiation dose, and the geometric properties of the radiographic image. Proper SID helps ensure optimal imaging conditions and patient safety.

What does SID stand for in SID Vicious?

Sid Vicious's real name is John Ritchie. Since he lived with a few other Johnnys, it was inevitable that he would get a nickname. Sid doesn't stand for anything. It was a name given to him by his roommates, one of them being Johnny 'Rotten' Lydon. Rotten had a hampster that was really cute named Sid, and one day it attacked his finger; he cried out "Sid is so vicious!" Some time later, Ritchie- who was known amongst his friends for being quiet and rather calm- got in a fight with a Bouncer and was kicked out of a bar. His friends were so surprised that quiet Johnny Ritchie spazzed out that they renamed his Sid Vicious. He took it as his stage name when the Sex Pistols formed.
