An oblique view in X‑ray is an angled projection obtained by rotating the patient or the X‑ray beam between the frontal (AP/PA) and lateral positions. It reveals structures hidden by overlap on standard views, improving visualization of bones, joints, ribs, and spine. Anterior or posterior obliques help localize fractures, dislocations and pathology by showing anatomy from a different plane.

Commonly used routine thumb radiographs include three standard views: anteroposterior (AP or PA), lateral, and 45° oblique. Additional or special views may be obtained—Robert’s view (true AP of the thumb base), Bett’s view, and stress/axial views—for better assessment of the carpometacarpal joint, sesamoids, fractures, dislocations, or ligamentous injury.

Do you mean "Bett's view" as a radiographic (X‑ray) projection of the thumb, or are you asking about a person named Bett's opinion about the thumb? Please specify which Bett or context so I can answer accurately.

An oblique hand X-ray provides an angled view of the bones, joints and soft tissues to reveal fractures, dislocations, small avulsion fragments, foreign bodies and joint space changes that can be hidden on straight PA or lateral views. It complements other projections for accurate fracture detection, alignment assessment, injury mapping and treatment planning in cases of trauma, pain, swelling or suspected arthritis.

An oblique view is an imaging projection taken with the patient or detector rotated between the frontal (AP/PA) and lateral planes. This angled view separates overlapping structures, improving visualization of bones, joints, ribs, spine, or chest lesions that aren’t clear on standard views. It’s commonly used in X-rays, mammography, and dental imaging to detect fractures, misalignment, or subtle pathology.

An oblique ray is a light or imaging ray that strikes a surface or passes through tissue at an angle other than perpendicular. In optics, oblique rays enter or reflect at slanted angles, affecting focus and causing distortions like astigmatism. In medical imaging, oblique rays or views are intentionally angled to reveal anatomical structures hidden on straight-on projections.
