What does the SLOB rule stand for in radiography?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Same Lingual, Opposite Buccal
The SLOB rule ("Same Lingual, Opposite Buccal") helps determine the spatial location of an object in radiographs. If the X-ray tube is shifted, an object that moves in the same direction as the tube is on the lingual side, and an object that moves in the opposite direction is on the buccal side.
