I noticed Ed has the article on Good Positioning for Hip X rays, I was wondering what is the proper positioning for Elbows. For example should the elbows be totally flexed or at a 90 degree angle etc...
Couldn't find an article if there is one.

From OFFA: The most sensitive view used to diagnose secondary degenerative changes in the elbow joint is an extreme flexed medio-lateral view of the elbow (Figure 1) which is required by the OFA and recommended by the International Elbow Working Group. The veterinary radiologists are most interested in the appearance of the anconeal process of the ulna.
