Foreshortening occurs when the x-ray beam and the structure being imaged are not perpendicular to each other, resulting in distortion of the image. This commonly occurs when the PID is angulated too high or too low. Lightening and darkening are not terms used to describe positioning errors, and penumbra refers to the blurred edges that occur on an x-ray image due to the finite size of the x-ray source.
