view: the image as seen from the vantage of the image receptor, the way the film
"sees" the part.
Figure 3-26. So positioned, a PA protection of the wrist will be produced, since the CR

3-11. ROUTINE
When a radiologist seeks radiologic information about a particular anatomical
structure or area, he will generally request a routine, that is, a battery of lightly different
projections of the same body part. By ordering a routine, the radiologist will have not
one, but a series of views of the same anatomical structure to look at and evaluate
(figure 3-27).
