Explanation

Oblique views refer to a type of imaging technique used in medicine. It involves taking pictures of the body from an angle, rather than straight on or from the side. This method can provide a different perspective and can help doctors see things they might miss with standard front or side images. It's often used in X-rays, CT scans, or other imaging tests to get a more detailed look at a specific area of the body.
