If an animal is in right lateral recumbency, which side of the animal touches the radiograph table?

The Left side
The Right side
The Front side
The Back side

The correct answer is: The Right side

When an animal is in right lateral recumbency, it means that the animal is lying on its right side. Consequently, the right side of the animal will be in contact with the radiograph table. This positioning is typically used for taking specific radiographs or X-rays of the pet’s anatomy, allowing for a clearer view of certain structures on the left side, which is now elevated. It is essential for the proper positioning to minimize any overlapping of anatomical structures during imaging.
