A less than optimal PA finger projection demonstrates unequal soft tissue width and midshaft concavity on each side of the phalanges. The side of the phalanges with the greatest midshaft concavity is facing the shortest finger metacarpal. All of the following are true about this projection except that the
A) finger was internally rotated.
B) projection will demonstrate more soft tissue width on the lateral surface.
C) projection will demonstrate open IP and MP joints as long as the digit remains parallel with the IR.
D) projection will demonstrate less phalangeal concavity on the lateral surface.
