title: [Technical reference: the oblique topogram as an adjustment aid].
abstract: The article points to the possibility of producing a topogram with the gantry in oblique position. Although this yields a distorted image, it enables accurate planning of the section and also a localization of objects in slanted position, for example, the intervertebral disks of the lower lumbar vertebral column, thus saving the patient time, material and radiation exposure.
