X-ray wrist (scaphoid view) is a part of a 4-view series regarding the wrist, the scaphoid and the surrounding carpal bones. Here, the central beam is angled to 15–30 degrees proximal to the long axis of the arm towards the elbow. The collimation is done proximal to the radiocarpal joint, lateral to the skin margins and distal to the base of the first metacarpal. Exposure is 55–65 kVp and 3–5 mAs. The detector size is 18 cm x 24 cm.
