Caudal foot placement superior to toe elevation for navicular palmaroproximal-palmarodistal-oblique image quality.

Caudal foot placement seems to improve the image quality of the navicular PaPr-PaDiO view. The widely used standard beam angle of 45° appears to be the favourable angle for acquisition with a varied range of -5°. Elevation of the toe, standard in most commercially available navicular skyline cassette holders, does not influence the obtained image quality.
