A
back of the patient.
B
front of the patient.
C
left side of the patient.
D
right side of the patient.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A chest X-ray is a test that creates an image of your heart, lungs and bones. Another name for a chest X-ray is chest radiograph.

Detailed explanation-2: -The image receptor is centered on the central ray. For a lateral view, the patient is positioned on the affected side, with the knee flexed 20-30 degrees. One method to obtain the tunnel view is to have the knee flexed 40-50 degrees with the patient prone and support placed under the tibia-fibula.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rotation can be assessed by measuring the distance between the medial edges of the clavicles to the vertebral spinous processes. They should be equal or near equal. Anterior structures move the same direction as rotation so the clavicle/spinous process width is increased on the side to which the patient is rotated.
