Radiographs and other photographs should be cropped to present only what is essential. It is rarely necessary to show normal radiographs, even for purposes of comparison. Frontal and lateral projections should be in the same scale and density. Corresponding details—e.g., the joint space—should be at the same level. Radiological illustrations should be electronic. Aim at a picture size of approximately 50 x 70 mm with 300 dpi which gives an uncompressed file size of 500 KiB. Save this file for final submission after acceptance. Highlights, arrows and letters may be added but keep a clean version of the photo for the layout process. Acta prefers to add these as a separate layer.
