Where is the central ray positioned for a lateral sacrum?

How much is the body rotated from the lateral position to demonstrate the zygapophyseal joints of the thoracic region?

What anatomy and projection is demonstrated in the image below?

Where should the superior edge of the IR/collimated field be placed for an AP projection of the thoracic vertebrae?

An abnormally increased concavity of the lumbar spine is termed:

Spinal nerves and blood vessels exit the spinal column through the:

When the shoulder is immobile and cannot be depressed sufficiently for the cervicothoracic region lateral projection (swimmer's technique),the central ray is angled:
