at the foot of the patient
at the head of the patient
90 degrees to the patient
in the next room
90 degrees to the patient
Rationale: The technologist should stand 90 degrees to the patient or scattering object to minimize their exposure dose. Standing at the foot or the head of the bed will result in the greatest exposure.
