Hi,
there is an example of moving jaw technique on this page http://wikiradiography.com/page/The+AP+Odontoid+Peg+View.

There are also some examples of breathing technique here http://wikiradiography.com/page/Applied+Radiography+-+by+M.J.Fuller

Cheers,

I have put some notes on breathing technique on wikiradiography here http://wikiradiography.com/page/Applied+Radiography+-+by+M.J.Fuller. It can be used more widely than what you might think

Chewing is not for the odontoid! Ottonello indeed. I would use a breathing technique on my swimmers, lateral t-spine, rao sternum. I've even seen it done on ribs, but I don't like that and the patients tend to move too much. enjoy

For the students who don't know an ottonello, its an AP projection that allows complete visualization of the c-spine. It requires a lot of exposure time and the patient tends to move the head too much. Also, I guess you could move the jaw for an odontoid. Never thought of that. Cool
