Sternum:
Oblique:___________ degree:___________
Reasoning:_________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________
Breathing technique:__________________________________________________________
kVp:________________ SID: minimum___________
- oblique: RAO or LPO degree: 15 - 20 barrel chested - less rotation skinny chested more rotation
- reasoning: shift the sternum just to the left of the thoracic vertebrae and into the heart shadow
- Breathing technique: taking shallow breaths during exposures

CR:__________________
- Below diaphragm
- Breathing: Medium (70 - 80) penetrate muscle
- CR: between xiphoid tip and lower rib ( bottom of cassette at top of iliac crest)
