Maybe this is it?

LODGE-MOOR PROJECTIONS
Lateral oblique projections to demonstrate the cervical articular facets (four views in total). Patient supine with the X-ray tube on the right hand side. First projection with the patients right side elevated by 20 degrees. Second projection with patients left side elevated by 20 degrees. For both views, centre the horizontal central ray to C5. When the raised side is nearest to the tube then angle 5 degrees cephalad. When the raised side is away from the tube then angle 5 degrees caudal. Repeat the two projections from the left side.
