Rib X-ray Positioning Only 40" SID AP AP/PA Oblique AP Lower Ribs AP Obliques Show the Ribs Closest to the Board PA Oblique Show the Ribs Farther from the board (PA "Away")
'Anterior Away' is what I use to remember. With posterior (AP projection), the affected side is down, with anterior (PA projection) the affected side is away.
@@probation2propagation420 Let's say the pain is anterior left, is the patient positioned: PA LAO or PA RAO? I learned that it would be PA RAO (LEFT INJURED ANTERIOR SIDE AWAY FROM the IR, am I correct?
AWESOME!! You are the Ribmaster!
She’s a great teacher.
I still don't get it.
Very helpful! Thank you!
If its pain on the PA side isnt it away from the IR and if its on the AP side its towards the IR
Thats what I thought
Side of pain always faces the IR
