Projection The path of radiation as it exits the x-ray tube and goes through patient to the
IR
Axial A longitudinal angulation of the central ray w/ the long axis of the body/body
part, most often produced by angling tube cephalic or caudad (10 degrees or
more).
Tangential The central ray skims the outer margin of a curved body part just under the
skin's surface.
Lateral side position named according to side closest to the IR

Position A patient's body/body part in relation to the table, erect wall bucky, or table
top IR.
Oblique -central ray enters the body/body part from a side angle
-achieved by rotating the patient with the central ray perpendicular to the IR
Differentiate b/t "body position" & "radiographic -body position- a persons physical position in rela. to the surrounding space
position" -radiographic position- the placement of the patient's body/body part in
relation to the IR.
Explain the function of "body position" & "radiographic During radiography general body positions are combined w/ radiographic
position" in the field of radiography positions to produce the appropriate image. (It is often necessary to reference
both b/c a particular radiographic position such as a RL can be achieved in
several body positions w/ differing image outcomes).
Upright Standing up(erect)
Supine Lying on the back (dorsal recumbent)
Trendelenberg Body is recumbent w/ head lower than the feet
