The document discusses how to take x-ray images of the soft tissue neck region. It describes taking both AP (anterior-posterior) and lateral views with the patient standing erect. For the AP view, the central ray is directed horizontally at a 15-20 degree angle at the C4 vertebra level. For the lateral view, the central ray is directed horizontally at the C4 level. Exposure settings are provided for both views when using an 8"x10" or 10"x12" cassette at 100cm SID, with no grid, 200mA, 12-16mAs, and 40-45kVp.
