Understanding Anatomic Position and Radiographic Terminology in Patient Positioning

This chapter provides an overview of fundamental principles and terminology associated with anatomic position and radiographic projections. Key terms such as superior, inferior, anterior, posterior, and various angles are defined within the context of human anatomy. The chapter explores different body positions, including supine, prone, and upright, and details how they affect the direction of X-ray projections. Understanding these concepts is essential for accurately positioning patients during imaging procedures to ensure effective diagnosis.
