What is the Proper tube angulation for modified axiolateral projection, Clements-Nakayama trauma hip radiograph?

15˚ Posteriorly

A technologist is taking a radiograph of an anteroposterior (AP) projection of the hip. Using the center point of the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS) and Pubic Symphysis as landmarks to create an imaginary plane, how far distally is the central ray (CR) directed?

2.5 inches (6 cm)

Where do you center for Hip Unilateral Frog

Center throught Hip Joint

Where do you center for Hip Axiolateral Inferosuperior Trauma (Clements-Nakayma)

Center to Femoral Neck Directed 15° Posteriorly to the Image Receptor

Where do you center for Hip Axiolateral Inferosuperior Trauma (Danelius-Miller)

Center to long axis of the Femoral Neck. Entering the groin at the level of the mid-Femoral Neck

Where do you center for Hip Anteroposterior (AP)

Center to the Femoral Neck 2.5 inches (6 cm) Distal from the midpoint between the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine and Pubic Symphysis Roate the Femur 15˚-20˚ internally

Inverting a patient's toes 15˚-20˚ and separating their heels 8-10 inches (20 cm - 25 cm) for an anteroposterior (AP) hip radiograph will do which two of the following (Select Two)

Elongate the neck of the Femur Place the Greater Trochanter in profile

The purpose of performing a modified axiolateral projection, CLements-Nakayama trauma hip is to best visualize the:
