"This view is often done in teaching hospitals where a plethora of teams might need to interpret an acute abdominal series. Patients who truly require an acute abdominal series will be in a lot of pain and quite unwell, therefore a PA erect view may not be possible, for these cases consider a lateral decubitus projection. It is paramount you include the hemidiaphragms in this projection, to aid assessment of free gas in the abdominal cavity. Ensure that you then cover the lower portion of the abdomen in the supine AP projection."
