Show What position demonstrates the best view of posterior ribs on the right side?When performing LPO or RPO rib radiographs, the patient should routinely be rotated 45 degrees toward the side of interest. This places the pathologic area closest to the image receptor and allows for the best spatial resolution.
Which of the following positions or projections will best demonstrate the right axillary ribs?The AP oblique rib projection is performed to best demonstrate the axillary ribs. Oblique ribs may be conducted either as an anterior oblique or posterior oblique view.
What is right posterior oblique position?Right posterior oblique (RPO) view -- This is obtained with the left front of the patient against the cassette. The patient is rotated 45 degrees with right posterior shoulder against the IR. This position is comparable to an LAO view demonstrating the maximum area of the right lung field.
Which rib projections should be performed for an injury to the right posterior ribs?Which two rib projections should be performed for an injury to the RIGHT POSTERIOR ribs? AP and RPO (To shift spine away from area of interest).
