In review of the image, what might the technologist consider to acquire a, L5-S1 spot?
center with a perpendicular beam
provide additional support under the waist
center with a 5-7 degree cephalic tube angle
center with a 5-7 degree caudal tube angle
center with a perpendicular beam
Rationale: If the lateral lumbar spine image reveals the L5-S1 joint space to be open, then a perpendicular central ray should be directed for the spot image. This image reveals that the patient's spine is parallel to the image receptor; no tube angle is necessary.
