  • Hand - AP Bilateral

  • Skull - AP
  • Skull - Lateral
  • Lumbar Spine - Lateral

  • Centering on joints will demonstrate some fractures which may otherwise be missed due to diverging beam
  • Often NAI cases end up in a court of law, lead markers must always be used otherwise the images may be inadmissible as evidence due to legal technicalities
