What type of radiograph is an anterior-posterior one?

From left to right
From right to left
From back to front
From front to back

The correct answer is: From front to back

An anterior-posterior radiograph is taken from front to back. This means that the X-ray beam enters the front of the patient and exits through the back, capturing an image of the anatomy from front to back. This type of radiograph is commonly used to visualize the thorax, abdomen, and extremities. Options A and B describe a lateral radiograph taken from left to right or right to left, respectively. Option C describes a posterior-anterior radiograph, which is the opposite direction as an anterior-posterior radiograph.
