- Position: AP Projection of the L (R) L-spine
- Film: 14x17 longitudinal; KVP 75-80
- Position of Pt.: Supine
- Position of Part: knees of the Pt. are flexed w/ the plantar surface of the feet flat on the table to straighten out the lumbar spine, midsagittal plane is centered to the middle of the IR from L to R.
- SID/CR: 40", vertical perpendicular to the middle of the IR aimed to the center of the midsagittal plane 2" above the iliac crest (varies to Pt. height).
- BT: suspended expiration
- Structures Shown: entire L-spine in a AP position
- QP: SASS
-
- Position: AP Oblique RPO (LPO) Projection of the L-spine
- Film: 14x17 longitudinal; KVP 80
- Position of Pt.: recumbent
- Position of Part: from an AP position, rotate Pt. 45 degrees into an RPO position, the knee farthest from the IR (side up) is flexed so that the plantar surface is flat.
- SID/CR: 40", vertical perpendicular midway b/w the midsagittal plane & lateral aspect of the side up, 2" above the iliac crest.
- BT: suspended expiration
- Structures Shown: entire L-spine in a RPO position
- QP: visualization of the R zygapophyseal joints (side down) & visualization of Scottie Dogs.
-
- Position: L (R) Lateral Projection of the L-spine
- Film: 14x17 longitudinal; KVP 80
- Position of Pt.: recumbent
- Position of Part: Pt. is in a L lateral position w/ knees flexed to straighten spine & for stability, centered to the middle of the IR from L to R.
- SID/CR: 40", vertical perpendicular to the middle of the IR aimed at the center of the L-spine 2" above the iliac crest.
- BT: suspended expiration
- Structures Shown: entire L-spine in a L lateral position
- QP: visualization of both L & R intervertebral foramina & visualization of disc spaces.
-
- Posistion: R (L) Lateral Projection of the L5-S1 Lumbosacral Junction (L5-S1 Spot)
- Film: 8x10 longitudinal; KVP 80
- Position of Pt.: Recumbent

- SID: 40," 5 degrees (males)/ 5-8 degrees (females) caudal parallel to mid-coronal plane.
- BT: suspended expiration
- Structures Shown: L5-S1 lumbosacral junction in a R Lateral position
- QP: visualization of the intervertebral foramina of L5-S1 junction & visualization of disc spaces.
