Explanation

An oblique angle in medicine refers to a specific way of viewing or imaging a part of the body. It's not a straight-on view like a front or side image, but rather a slanted or angled view. This can help doctors see certain areas more clearly. For example, it can provide a better view of the bones, organs, or tissues, making it easier to diagnose any potential issues.
