The recumbent position is one in which the patient is lying on his or her back. In the case of a chest x-ray, for instance, it's important to know the patient position so that the image can be analyzed appropriately.

Taking an x-ray in a recumbent position means the patient is lying down on their back or side during the imaging procedure. This position is commonly used to assess conditions or injuries that are best viewed from this angle, such as spinal issues or certain abdominal conditions. It helps provide a clearer view of the area in question compared to other positions.

Vet xray tech salary?

It is highly unlikely that you are going to find a position solely as an xray technician in a veterinary hospital. It might be possible at a specialty practice, but even there it is very unlikely. Veterinary technicians are trained in radiology and radiographic technique and tend to take x-rays as a part of their regular duties. Veterinary techncians average $30,000 to $45,000 a year in the US.
