When you have completed review of this screen, please click the "Next
Page" blue arrow for the second portion of this section.The RAO/Caudal view is not a conventional view for imaging the RCA. However it may be occasionally needed when the mid portion of a tortuous artery cannot be clearly "laid out" in the other views. An animation demonstrating this view is shown on the bottom left. Immediately below is the angulation of the Image Intensifier (II) and camera assembly that is used to obtain the specific view. |

| In the Right Anterior Oblique or RAO view, the camera is rotated
along a vertical axis towards the patient's right. Please remember that
the ventricular septum lies in a plane between the right shoulder and
the left nipple. Thus, in the RAO/Caudal view, the camera "looks" at the
outline of the septum from below. The atrio-ventricular plane is seen on
edge, since it sits roughly at right angles to the ventricular septum.
