Why is it common to radiograph in multiple directions?

Radiographing in multiple directions is common to obtain a comprehensive view of the anatomy and any potential abnormalities. Different angles can reveal overlapping structures, improve visualization of specific areas, and help in accurately diagnosing conditions. This multi-directional approach allows for better assessment of fractures, tumors, or other pathologies that may not be clearly seen from a single view. Additionally, it aids in planning for further treatment or interventions.
