During myelography, the patient is usually positioned in the prone position for the injection of contrast medium. After that, the table is tilted to various angles to encourage the contrast medium to flow towards the area of interest. The lateral projection can be done in a decubitus position, with the patient lying on the side opposite the area under investigation. The PA oblique projection may also be performed to get a different view of the spinal canal. However, the PA projection is not typically done during myelography. Therefore, options A and C are incorrect, and the correct answer is B.
