Clipping the symphysis pubis is the easiest mistake to make when taking a KUB Abd. I either have them bend their knees quick for me or just go right in and palpate the iliac crest (let them know what you're doing first).

My Guest here gave the same answer I was going to give. Just palpate that SP!

One facility I worked in had the dentent set at 44" instead of 40" and that worked real well.

u can feel for xiphoid sternum n makes sure that this is at the top of the film. This will ensure that u have diaphragm superiorly n u should be good with getting SP on.
another method may be to palpate greater trochater and ensure that the bottom of ur film extends just below this landmark (because SP is located just inferior to the level of greater trochanter)
But the best way is the just tactfully palpate symph.
