ABSTRACT

Positioning for lateral ring and little fingers 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_30a.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>

The patient is seated alongside the table with the palm of the hand at right angles to the table and the medial aspect of the little finger in contact with the image receptor.

The affected finger is extended and the remaining fingers are fully flexed into the palm of the hand and held there by the thumb in order to prevent superimposition.

It may be necessary to support the ring finger on a non-opaque pad to ensure that it is parallel to the image receptor.
