ABSTRACT

Positioning for dorsi-palmar oblique hand projection. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315382210/8ca82e7c-bd07-4171-b4f5-ebaded57b5b3/content/fig2_37a.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>

From the basic dorsi-palmar position, the hand is externally rotated 45 degrees with the fingers extended in contact with the image receptor.

The fingers should be separated slightly and the hand supported on a 45-degree non-opaque pad.

A sandbag is placed over the lower end of the forearm for immobilisation.
