State the degree of central ray angulation that should be used for an ulnar-deviated PA axial (scaphoid) wrist projection being obtained to demonstrate a proximal scaphoid fracture.
 
  a. Use a 10-degree angle if the first metacarpal and ulna are aligned.
  b. Use a 25-degree angle if the first metacarpal and ulna are not aligned.
  c. Use a 15-degree angle if the first metacarpal and ulna are aligned.
  d. Use a 20-degree angle if the first metacarpal and ulna are not aligned.

Question 2

  b. will also demonstrate the ulna anterior to the radius.
  c. was obtained with the wrist in ulnar flexion.
  d. was obtained with the wrist internally rotated.
