The patient should be rotated how many degrees to demonstrate the intervertebral foramina?
0 degrees
90 degrees
30 degrees
45 degrees
45 degrees
Rationale: 45 degrees is the suggested body rotation for the oblique c-spine images. Greater than 45 degrees may show signs of overrotation of the part as it approaches a lateral. Less than 45 degrees may show signs of underrotation as both pedicles may be visible; similar to what may be seen in the AP.
