A longitudinal plane that divides the body into right and left parts is the:______

A.Posteroanterior

Situation: A patient is erect with her back to the image receptor. The central ray enter the anterior aspect and exits the posterior aspect of the body. Which projection has been performed.

C. RPO

Situation: A patient is lying down facing upward with the posterior surface of the body against the image receptor. The right side of the body is turned 45 degrees toward the image receptor. The x-ray tube is directed vertically and enter the anterior surface of the body. Which position has been performed?

A. LAO

Situation: A patient is placed in a recumbent position facing downward. The left side of the body is turned 30 degrees toward the image receptor . Which specific position has been performed.

D. Fowler's

Situation: A patient is placed in a recumbent position with the body tilted to that the head is higher than the feet. The image receptor is under the patient and the x-ray tube is above the patient. Which is the general position of the patient?

C. Ventral decubitus

Situation: A patient is placed into a recumbent position facing downward. The x-ray tube is directed horizontally and enters the left side and exits the right side of the body. An image receptor is placed against the right side of the patient. Which position has been performed.
