LAO refers to rotating the camera to the patient's left (catheter and spine will be on the right side of the image), RAO to the patient's right (catheter and spine on the left side of the image).  Angulation describes the position of the image intensifier in the short axis of the patient.  Camera can pivit toward (cranial) or away (caudal) from the patient's head.
