Visualize how the image would look on a monitor. Move the patient and position the area of interest along the long axis of your collimated field rather than rotating the collimator. Collimate to the area of interest to reduce scatter radiation and to improve image quality.

- We use the upright position to image the ribs above the. Position of patient Sitting reclining backwards with the hands clasped behind the head. The patient should be asked to take a deep breath and hold the breath while the exposure is taken.
Position of part The top of the lungs should be visible. Primarily on the vertical divergence of the x-ray beam rather than on the magnification of the ribs. Because the right rib cage is farther from the film the projection of the right ribs on a lateral radio-graph will fan out and diverge in a vertical di-rection to a greater degree than that of the left ribs.
Thus the right side can be distinguished. Normal anatomical landmarks on the x-ray image is necessary to correctly position the patient and evaluate the image. The ventrodorsal VD or dorsoventral DV and right and left lateral thoracic radiographs should be centered on the heart and include the entire lung field and surround-ing ribs.
The crosshairs of the collimator. DIRECTION AND CENTRING OF THE X-RAY BEAM Direct the central ray perpendicular to the cassette and towards a point 75cm lateral to the fifth thoracic vertebra on the side nearest the X-ray tube. NOTE The patient is allowed to breathe gently during an exposure time of several seconds using a low mA provided that immobilization is adequate.
In this particular case of trauma patient a standard chest x-ray was initially taken to evaluate chest pain and a rib series was obtained when rib fractures were suspected. A rib series consisting of a marker placed over the region of interest oblique views 30 and 45 on inspiration on expiration as well as during slow and fast breathing was performed in order to identify the best view.

Secure lead shield around waist to shield gonads. Patient erect rotated 45degrees with left anterior shoulder against IR for the LAO and 45degrees with right anterior shoulder against IR for the RAO see note below for 60degrees LAO Patients arm flexed nearest IR and hand placed on hip palm out. Primary x-ray beam and use positioning devices.
Lateral thorax Sternum and thoracic spine must be in same plane. Extend hind limbs but do not rotate patient. Extend collimation caudally to top of last rib.
Make exposure at peak inspiration. Lateral abdomen Position animal as for lateral thorax but center on middle. This article discusses radiographic positioning for the Radiologic Technologist X-Ray Tech to show the wrist.
Purpose and Structures Shown. This view should demonstrate the bones specifically the carpals distal radius and ulna and proximal metacarpals and soft tissue of the wrist. Seated sideways at the end of the table.
The most common position for x-rays of the sternum. This position brings the sternum closest to the IR and uses the heart as a backdrop for better visualization of the sternum. Structure in the thorax that is used as a backdrop for better visualization of the sternum.
This is why an RAO position is used in chest x-rays rather than an LAO. A physician may order an X-ray to check for certain cancers in different parts of the chest near the ribs by detecting abnormal tumors growths or lumps. A rib X-ray is used to view the area of the body where a patient is experiencing pain swelling or other abnormalities that require an internal view of the organs.
