    Uploaded by

    Melanie Ramdass
    This document provides positioning and technique instructions for various radiographic projections of the lumbar spine, sacrum, coccyx, and scoliosis series. It describes patient positioning, central ray angle and direction, part/structure demonstrated, and technique factors including kVp and mAs for each projection. Projections covered include AP, PA, lateral, obliques of the lumbar spine and sacrum, and scoliosis series images in both upright and flexed/bended positions.
