Question: 1 / 50

For a VD radiograph, in what position is the animal placed?

Standing upright

On their belly

On their back

For a VD (ventrodorsal) radiograph, the animal is placed on their back with their belly facing upwards. This positioning allows for the x-ray beam to pass through the body from the ventral (front) to the dorsal (back) side, capturing an image with structures in their natural anatomical position. Placing the animal in a standing, sitting, or belly-down position would not allow for a proper VD radiograph to be obtained.

Sitting up
