Is there a chart on-line somewhere that describes X-ray terminology, like dorsal, ventral, lateral right, etc?

I just got a job where I will be doing some X-Rays and wanted to look into the types of positions so I knew more about what people were talking about when I go in on Monday. I had no luck finding one.

Thanks!
 
Go to a library or bookstore and look in the front of a good anatomy book. It should have explanation in there.

Here's from MN's website http://vanat.cvm.umn.edu/anatDirections/

The only thing I didn't see there that we use in anatomy at UTK is palmar (pads of the forlimbs)/dorsal and plantar(pads of the hindlimbs)/dorsal
