General Terminology

Rotation describes the position of the image intensifier around the longitudinal axis of the patient. 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. Diagram

LAO Caudal

• "spider" view, lays out the main branches of LMCA in a divergent manner, good look at bifurcation of LAD and Cx, origin of RI and origin of high OM brances. LAO Caudal
• The LMCA and LAD are foreshortened.

LAO Cranial

• Lays out the LMCA, proximal LAD, projects origin and trunks of the RI and 1st Dx to avoid overlap by the Cx. LAO Cranial

RAO Caudal

• LMCA bifurcation, proximal LAD, proximal to mid Cx, origin and trunk of OM and left postero-lateral branch. RAO Caudal

RAO Cranial

• Lays out LMCA, proximal LAD, proejcts origin and trunks of Ramus and 1st Dx to avoid overlap by proximal Cx. needs
