Less magnification of the sesamoids can be achieved by positioning the foot:
dorsiflexed with the heel in contact with the image receptor
dorsiflexed with the toes in contact with the image receptor
plantarflexed with the toes in contact with the image receptor
plantarflexed with the heel in contact with the image receptor
dorsiflexed with the toes in contact with the image receptor
Rationale: Dorsiflexion of the foot is necessary and the ball of the foot should be positioned perpendicular to the image receptor to allow the tangential beam to skim the part. The toes should be positioned closer to the image receptor to reduce magnification.
