• the patient's right side is on your right side

• the image is rotated with the patient's head to your right

• the patient's right side is on your left side

• the patient's left side is on your left side

• en face

• in profile

• oblique

Looking at a lesion tangentially would be to view it:

• en face

• obliquely

• straight on

• in profile

Air-fluid levels are best demonstrated with a (an):

• oblique beam

• tangential beam

• horizontal beam

• lateral beam
