"the image receptor is angled approximately 20-45° to match the angle of the neck of femur (observed on the AP pelvis/hip); this is done to prevent elongation or foreshortening of anatomy"

"the central ray is angled perpendicular to the long axis of the neck of femur; the image receptor should be adjusted to match this angle"
"There is a clear visualisation of the articular surface of the acetabulum and the head of the proximal femur."
