For an anteroposterior (AP) projection of the toe, the central ray is directed perpendicular to the film and the metatarsophalangeal joint of the toe being examined. This ensures that the image captures the desired anatomical details without distortion. It's important to center the ray accurately to avoid overlapping structures and to achieve a clear radiographic image.
