Where is the spine in a RAO view?

Explanation:
In a right anterior oblique view, the chest is rotated so the right front side is closer to the detector. This oblique angle shifts posterior structures like the spine so that they appear to the left side of the cardiac silhouette on the image. The spine is a posterior structure, and the rotation causes it to project to the left of the heart, helping to identify the orientation of the view.
