perpendicular
3-5 degrees caudal
5-7 degrees caudal
5-7 degrees cephalic


5-7 degrees cephalic

Rationale: All mediolateral knee projections require the central ray to be angled 5-7 degrees cephalic. The cephalic tube angle will help to superimpose the medial femoral condyle onto the lateral femoral condyle.
