ABSTRACT:
A template for aiding in the accurate alignment of a human subject undergoing upright X-ray examinations requiring one or more oblique views is formed of graphical indicia specially arranged for highly intuitive interpretation by the subject. The indicia include one or more lines of obliquity, as well as an orthogonal line, with which the subject aligns his feet responsive to instructions from an X-ray technician. In various preferred embodiments, a range of visual means is employed to ensure that stress-free and highly repeatable oblique views are obtained, these means including unique line patterns and orientations, as well as distinct line colors and shapes.
