The clavicle position for obtaining lateral 36" radiographs produces significantly better overall visualization of critical vertebral landmarks. Regional measures do not differ between the three positions, but global balance is more positive with the 60 degrees position. Clinically, the clavicle position may result in more accurate radiographic measures and may minimize repeated radiograph exposures.
