Ideal positioning of the foot for the plantodorsal axial projection is:

dorsiflexed and the plantar surface is parallel to the image receptor
dorsiflexed and the plantar surface is perpendicular to the image receptor
plantarflexed and the plantar surface is parallel to the image receptor
plantarflexed and the plantar surface is perpendicular to the image receptor

dorsiflexed and the plantar surface is perpendicular to the image receptor

Rationale: Degree of dorsiflexion should ideally place the plantar surface of the foot perpendicular to the image receptor.
