The forearm and tib-fib were grouped together due to having similar part thickness. Both a forearm and a tib-fib are small enough to NOT need a grid. This made both parts have the about kVp of the low to mid 60s. This needed a slightly greater kVp than the hand and foot due to the part being a bit larger.

FOREARM
*Lateral Forearm
This Image of the lateral forearm is good because the arm is in a true lateral and you can see both articulating ends of the long bone.
AP Forearm

TIB-FIB
*AP Tib-Fib
This Image of the Tib-Fib is our optimal Image because we can see that there is no overlap of the tibia and fibula. Both articulating ends of the long bone are shown as well.
