The patient is seated alongside the table with the arm abducted and medially rotated to bring the lateral aspect of the index finger in contact with the image receptor.
The raised forearm is supported.
The index finger is fully extended and the middle finger slightly flexed to avoid superimposition.
The middle finger is supported on a non-opaque pad.
The remaining fingers are fully flexed into the palm of the hand and held there by the thumb.
