Positioning for dorsi-palmar 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_36a.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
The patient is seated alongside the table with the affected arm nearest to the table.
The forearm is pronated and placed on the table with the palmar surface of the hand in contact with the image receptor.
The fingers are separated and extended but relaxed to ensure that they remain in contact with the image receptor.
The wrist is adjusted so that the radial and ulnar styloid processes are equidistant from the image receptor.
A sandbag is placed over the lower forearm for immobilisation.
