Question

Angling the CR 20° to 25° cephalad will separate the body and pylorus of the stomach, providing better visualization of these two regions. The AP projection or Trendelenburg position may not necessarily resolve the issue of superimposition. Angling the CR 30° to 45° may cause the duodenal loop to superimpose with the stomach.
