YES ,both oblique can use for sternum;but from my experience LAO is more better since the heart shadow wont disturbe the image quality.Thre things are vry impotant -1.degree of obliquity of patient (20-25),2.CR such a way to penitrate throuh the mid sternum 3.breathing and KV(KV must be just sufficient)Thanks 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

LAO will remove the sternum from the heart shadow. However, A long exposure will cause the heart shadow to blur on an RAO. This essentially increases filtraltion of the beam localy which can aid in demonstrating the sternum.
