A member asked:
I have pain and a lump on the palm of my right hand, went to the e.r and got x rays but they would not do the palm facing up scan why ?

Not SOP: Routine hand films are done with the palm down (against the receptor). With a lump on the palm of your hand we would want the lump against the receptor for the clearest view.
