AP decub, short for anteroposterior decubitus, refers to a specific radiographic position used in imaging studies, particularly chest X-rays. In this position, the patient lies on their side (decubitus) while the X-ray beam is directed from the front (anterior) to the back (posterior) of the body. This view can help visualize fluid levels, air pockets, or other abnormalities in the lungs and pleural space that may not be apparent in standard upright views.
