At what level is the jugular notch located on a sthenic patient?

The jugular notch is an anatomical landmark located at the superior aspect of the sternum, also known as the manubrium. For a sthenic patient, which is considered one of the body habitus classifications that is more muscular and proportionate, the jugular notch is typically found at the level of the T2-T3 interspace. This position makes it a consistent point of reference for various medical assessments and imaging procedures.

Understanding this level is crucial for practitioners as it aids in the accurate positioning and alignment during radiographic examinations, ensuring that anatomical structures are properly visualized without unnecessary exposure to radiation.
