Preferred Label : imaging view;
Definition : An indicator of the orientation of the patient in an image, often carrying an implication
of passive positioning (i.e. positioning which is not unduly onerous for the patient).
This may reflect a combination of patient position and imaging direction (e.g. x-ray
beam direction), and may be captured in a named or eponymous term (e.g. Danelius Miller
view). The positioning involved in views is designed to permit visualization of specific
anatomic targets or particular orientations (e.g. open mouth odontoid view, Norgaard
view, swimmer's view). Note that this positioning is usually not passive in the strict
sense (i.e. performed by someone else), but rather passive in the sense that it is
neither onerous for the patient, nor intended as a challenge to the patient. [Radlex
