To demonstrate long bones with the least amount of distortion and obtain optimal anatomical alignment,
1)align the CR perpendicular to the IR and the long axis of the bone.
2)align the IR parallel to long axis of the bone.
3)use the law of isometry when the long bone is parallel to the IR.
4)use the law of isometry to minimize foreshortening.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aligning the CR perpendicular to the IR and long axis of the bone will reduce the amount of distortion. Aligning the IR parallel to the long axis of the bone will ensure optimal anatomical alignment. Using the law of isometry when the long bone is parallel to the IR will also help to maintain anatomical accuracy. Minimizing foreshortening through the law of isometry will further reduce distortion and help to accurately demonstrate long bones. Therefore, the best choice is to use options 1, 2, and 4.
