In a posteroanterior (PA) chest radiograph, the X - ray tube should be angled at 0 degrees (perpendicular) to the image receptor and the patient's chest to obtain a standard, accurate image. The other options (15 degrees cephalad, 30 degrees caudad, 40 degrees cephalad) are not the standard angulation for a PA chest radiograph.
