    Posterior area of interest - a PA chest X-ray, an AP projection of the ribs, and a 45 degree Posterior Oblique with the side of interest closest to the image receptor. Sternum. The standard projections in the UK are PA chest and lateral sternum. [15] In the US, the two basic projections are a 15 to 20 degree Right Anterior Oblique and a Lateral.

    X-ray: X-rays of the wrist are made in two directions: posterior-anterior (PA) and lateral. Radiographs are useful to diagnose or rule out possible bone fractures, a positive ulnar variance or osteoarthritis. The TFCC is not visible on an X-ray, regardless of its condition.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapholunate_ligament

    X-ray images indicate scapholunate ligament instability when the scapholunate distance is more than 3 mm, which is called scapholunate dissociation. [7] A static scapholunate instability is generally readily visible, but a dynamic scapholunate instability can only be seen radiographically in certain wrist positions or under certain loading conditions, such as when clenching the wrist, or ...

    Human chest radiographic anatomy. Radioanatomy ( x-ray anatomy ) is an anatomy discipline that involves studying anatomy through the use of radiographic films . [ 3 ] The x-ray film represents a two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional object due to the summary projection of different anatomical structures onto a planar surface.

    A line drawn between the distal ends of the articular surface of the radius on a lateral X-ray. A line that is perpendicular to the diaphysis of the radius. Sometimes, the diaphysis of the radius is hard to distinguish from the ulna, and a line between them (turquoise line in image) may be used instead. [2]
