One trick of the trade is to get your patient to roll their shoulders forward. This will move the scapula off the lung fields in the same way it does for a PA. It has the added benefit of stopping the patient from leaning back when they take a big breath in. I have been called into the radiologist reporting room because they needed to clarify that the image was in face AP and not PA

Is not cephalad? because caudad means you angle towards the feet.

I think it’s still considered caudad just because the cr is angled down in relation to its horizontal plane, if you did a cephalad it would be pointed at the ceiling in this position. I could be wrong but I think that’s what it’s trying to say

From what I was taught in class it’s caudad because you angle down, a AP lordotic however due to them leaning back requires a Cephalic angle
