In a RAO view, where is the spine located relative to the heart?

Explanation:
In an oblique chest view, rotation changes how the mediastinal structures overlap on the film. In a right anterior oblique projection, the right front of the chest is toward the detector, which causes the vertebral column (the spine) to project to the left side of the image relative to the heart. So on the radiograph, the spine appears to the left of the heart.
