Hips to ankles
SID is generally between 72-84 inches but may have to be increased to compensate for greater coverage to accommodate taller patients.
The wedge compensating filter is generally used in patients with greater thickness discrepancies from the hips to ankles. Usually, the thin part is placed over the knees and thick part over the ankles.
Technical factors are usually comparable to PA scoliosis 3-foot techniques but are increased slightly to compensate for a greater SID.
