    Hand PA Position

    Hand placed flat, with Central Ray (CR) aligned with the third metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint at a Source-to-Image Distance (SID) of 40 cm. Using 10x12 IR, 60 kVp, and 20 mAs.

    Hand Oblique Details

    Hand positioned 45° rotated at the end of the table. CR targeting the 3rd MCP joint with a 40cm SID, 10x12 IR, 60 kVp, and 20 mAs.

    Hand Lateral Setup

    Hand positioned straight out at the end of the table, Central Ray (CR) targeted at the third MCP joint. This involves a 10x12 IR, 60 kVp, 20 mAs, and 40 cm SID.

    SID

    Source-to-Image Distance, the distance between the x-ray tube and the image receptor.
