Abstract
Loss of linear alignment of limb hooks in AP radiograms may suggest the presence of tilt in the AP plane. Significant separation of limb hooks should be alarming for significant filter tilt, and further evaluation of the filter position by CT scan or lateral cavogram should be obtained prior to planning of the retrieval.
