"The oblique view will show the sternal body in the AP plane, it is used to query fractures or infection 1."
"the patient is RAO facing the upright detector; the projection is performed RAO to project the sternum over the homogenous heart"
"the patient is RAO facing the upright detector; the projection is performed RAO to project the sternum over the homogenous heart"
"RAO is 20-30 degrees larger patients require less rotation"

"always ensure you are performing it RAO (this is the optimal obliquity)"
"If spinal precautions are present it can be performed supine AP with a cross angle of 15-20 degrees and an aligned detector to ensure minimal elongation."
