Radio - Review Of Oblique View Flashcards
Which direction should always orient to the left?
Cranial/dorsal to left
Which orientation should face right?
Caudal /palmar to right
Radiopaque markers are necessary to identify
Left v right
Forelimb v hindlimb
Medial v lateral
Which side should markers go on the radiograph
Lateral side to help identify
Where should markers go on a lateral shot?
Cranial placement
Steps to naming directional terms

The second part of the name describes where the beam exited and the angle at which it was shot

Inners vs outer
Inner two letters vs outer two letters
DMPLO -MP = medial is projected palmar
DL = lateral is projected dorsal
