We're breaking down positioning criteria for PA & Oblique hand x-rays.

In today's video, we're doing an in-depth positioning analysis on the PA and Oblique Hand views. You can determine over/under obliquity based on the contour of the metacarpals and phylanges. I'm going over a couple examples in each view, so let me know if the comments if you have any questions!

This was such a good video! I honestly learned so much from watching this and I wish you had more videos like these on other areas of the body

@kasietaylor6458 1 year ago

Do you have anymore videos that are similar to this but for other body parts?
You are the only one I’ve found that does such a good job and actually points to what you’re talking about.

Thanks so much man! 1st semester RT school, zoom style (shoot me), and we are being asked to critique images not even knowing what a good quality image looks like since we have close to zero direction in this department until AFTER we turn everything in! Passing on your channel to all my classmates ASAP!

Great image analysis, very useful for me as a swedish radiographer student. Would love to watch more content like this! :)

I have heard 45 degrees for both oblique wrist and oblique hand xrays, but if you look in textbooks and look at real world xrays, the hand is way more obliqued in a wrist than a hand. I've never been able to get a proper hand xray at 45 degrees (using a sponge even) because the metacarpals are way too superimposed.
