In a decubitus position x-ray, it is essential to demonstrate the entire lung fields to assess for any fluid levels or air-fluid interfaces. The patient's arms should not be visible to avoid obscuring the lung fields. Additionally, proper identification of which decubitus position (right or left) is used is crucial for accurate interpretation.
