"1st – 10th axillary ribs of the affected side are demonstrated without superimposition"
"The AP oblique rib projection is performed to best demonstrate the axillary ribs. Oblique ribs may be conducted either as an anterior oblique or posterior oblique view."
"The AP oblique view specifically focuses on the axillary ribs. The rib series is often considered to be an unnecessary, unjustified projection in many radiology departments. Indeed the Royal College of Radiologists (UK) iRefer guidelines state "Demonstration of a simple rib fracture does not usually alter management but if a complication such as pneumothorax or infection is suspected, chest radiograph would be appropriate" 3. Thus if the projection might change the patient management it may still be considered pertinent and worthy of discussion."

"If you are confused by which way to oblique the patient depending on AP/PA position, remember that the spinous processes will always point towards the unaffected side (i.e. for left oblique ribs, spinous processes point to the right) (see Case 1)."

"The antomy shown in LPO position is equivalent to RAO position while the anatomy shown in RPO position is equivalent to LAO position 2."

"Conducting AP rib oblique views produces less magnification of the ribs, and provides more bony detail than that of the PA view 1."

"For the PA oblique projection (LAO/RAO), the affected side is rotated 45 degrees away from the IR, with the CR as per the AP oblique view."
