"the most challenging aspect when performing this projection is collimation; collimation must be tight to avoid scatter thus decreasing the image quality. Time should be taken to ensure the image is collimated appropriately."
"this projection is often performed bilaterally for comparison, it's important to remember that the side of interest will be the obliquity of the oblique"
"The anterior oblique projections of the sternoclavicular joints are complimentary to the front on PA view in the sternoclavicular joint series"
"The side of obliquity pertains to the joint of interest i.e. RAO to assess the right sternoclavicular joint. However, this projection is often performed bilaterally, subsequently, this article will describe the projection as a bilateral examination."
"a bilateral examination will require the patient to lay RAO and LAO for separate projections"
"SID"
"RAO evaluates the right sternoclavicular joint"
