Imaging the AP oblique 4th toe will require the entire foot to be rotated:
50 degrees laterally
30-45 degrees laterally
30-45 degrees medially
50 degrees medially
30-45 degrees laterally
Rationale: Rotation of the foot for AP oblique 4th digit should go 30-45 degrees laterally to keep the part as close to the image receptor as possible.

Patient is a 19-year-old sophomore at the local university. She has just recently recovered from a bout with meningitis. She is seen at the outpatient clinic at McGraw Hospital. She is complaining of extreme thirst and polyuria, muscle weakness, and headache. On physical exam, she is moderately dehydrated as evidenced by dry mucous membranes. Labs confirmed the dehydration; she is markedly
hypernatremic. Fearing she may have had a relapse of the meningitis, the physician ordered an MRI of the brain.
