Lateral view of fingers is divided into:
-
xX-ray of index and middle fingers -
xX-ray of ring and little fingers
X-ray of index and middle fingers
Index and middle fingers can beare radiographed together.
Patient position
- patient seated alongside table
-

X-ray beam features
- vertical beam is employed
- centred to a point over theaffected finger's proximal interphalangeal joint
of affected finger
X-ray of ring finger and little finger
Ring and little fingers are radiographed together.
Patient position
-
patient seated alongside
thetableplace palm of patient at right angle to cassette (lateral position) - medial aspect of extended little finger is kept in contact with cassette while ring finger is slightly
extendedflexed at metacarpophalyngeal joint to avoid superimposition - rest of the fingers are fully flexed
X-ray beam features
- vertical beam is employed
- centred over proximal interphalangeal joint of affected finger
