Scanning procedure:
1. Preparation before scanning: The patient removes jewelry and metal objects from the body.
2. Scanning procedure:
 Straight position: the patient sits or lies, the arm straighten, X-ray beam is perpendicular to the elbow joint.
 Oblique position: the patient sits or lies, the arm is bent at a 90-degree angle, the X-ray beam is directed at the lateral angle of the elbow joint.
 Oblique position: the patient sits or lies; the arm is tilted at a certain angle so that the X-ray beam is taken from different angles.
3. Evaluation of results: X-ray images must be clear, not obscured by surrounding structures, clearly showing the elbow joint and related bones.
