How I get really awesome sunrise views.




My secret to consistently getting perfect sunrise views are from one sponge.
This beautiful sponge:



When the patient is laying down supine on the table I slip this under their knees and angle the tube just right... BAM. Perfection.

This is my set up.

Just pretend there is a person there.


That's at 110 degrees. Which is a 30 degree angle cephalic.

Each and every time my pictures turn out like this.

Except not blurry!

I found one similar online to the one my work bought for me here:

Bolster, 6.63 X 9.00 X 18.00 #124Bolster, 6.63 X 9.00 X 18.00


It really helps make the perfect angle and patients find this more comfortable then holding the legs up themselves or by laying on their stomach.
