Oblique Ribs
Dec 10 2011, 6:21 PM EST
What is the reason that we must have the affected side of the ribs away from the IR, when we do it LAO or RAO? I know when we do it LPO or RPO, the affected side is closer to the IR, but what is the reason that it is away from the IR when we do it LAO or RAO? Thanks...

I think it might be because you want to get the spine and other structures off of the ribs. If you were to image the right ribs in an RAO position the spine would be superimposed on the axillary ribs.
