The patient is seated alongside the table with the arm abducted, the elbow flexed and the anterior aspect of the forearm resting on the table.
The thumb is flexed slightly and the palm of the hand is placed on the image receptor.
The palm of the hand is raised slightly, with the fingers partially flexed and supported on a non-opaque pad, such that the lateral aspect of the thumb is in contact with the image receptor.
