Document Summary
Positioning: no rotation of the digit demonstrated by; Area covered: distal, middle and proximal phalanx and distal half adjoining metacarpal. Collimation: from distal phalanx to half adjoining metacarpal and soft tissue. Positioning: entire digit at a 45 angle, including the distal portion of the adjoining metacarpal, shown by. There is twice as much soft tissue width on the raised side. Area covered: distal, middle and proximal phalanges and half the adjoining metacarpal. Collimation: from the distal phalanx to half the adjoining metacarpal and the soft tissues. Positioning: entire digit in true lateral position demonstrated by. Anterior surfaces of the middle and proximal phalanges will be concave. Finger nail, if visualised, will be in profile: phalanges are not foreshortened, no obstruction of proximal phalanx or metacarpophalangeal joint by. Area covered: distal, middle amd proximal phalanges of affected digit and its adjoining metacarpal head. Collimation: from the distal phalanx to the metacarpal head and soft tissues.
