The image should include the area from the upper border of the pubic symphysis to the diaphragm.
Proper alignment -- the vertebral column should be in the midline position. Ribs, pelvis, and hips should be equidistant to the edge of the radiograph.
No rotation -- spinous processes in the center of the vertebral column and symmetric ilial wings
No motion -- ribs and gas bubble margins should appear sharp. The diaphragm should appear sharp in an upright film.
Soft tissues visualization -- correctly exposed abdominal radiographs on an average-size patient should faintly visualize the lower liver margin, kidneys, the lateral borders of psoas muscles, and transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae.
Appropriate markers should be placed indicating either upright or supine position.
