When taking a paralleling radiograph on a patient with palatal Tori, where should the film be placed?

In the case of taking a paralleling radiograph on a patient with palatal Tori, the correct placement of the film is behind the Tori. This is important because palatal Tori are bony growths on the hard palate, which can obstruct the direct path of the X-ray beam and affect the quality of the radiograph. By placing the film behind the Tori, the radiograph can capture the appropriate anatomical areas without interference from the Tori, ensuring a clear and diagnostic image. This placement helps avoid any distortions that may result from positioning the film in front of the Tori, which could lead to overlapping images or missing essential details of the underlying structures.
