This is because. FiK. !)-. Pose for making a radiograph of the lower incisors, and the antra. the film cannot be placed in this position without bending it considerably,and the bending results in distortion and blurring of the radiograph. Afilm may be placed in the mouth as in Fig. 92, or a plate or large film,4x5 inches or larger, may be placed on a stand, sensitive side up, and thepatient posed as in Fig. 98. It is usually necessary to have the patientremove the collar for this pose. Fig. 98, because of its lack of per-spective, is perhaps a little misleading.
