Which projection would be best for demonstrating a possible dislocation of the proximal humerus
scapular Y
A radiograph of an axial clavicle projection reveals that the clavicle is projected below the superior border of the scapula. What can the technologist to to correct this.
increase the CR cephalad angle
a radiograph of an AP scapula reveals that the scapula is within the lung field and difficult to see. What can you do to improve visibility of the scapula.
ensure that affected arm is abducted 90 degrees and use breathing technique
a radiograph of an AP external rotation projection reveals that neither the greater nor lesser tubercles are profiled. What should be done to correct
supinate the hand to make sure the epicondyles are parallel for true AP
Corrections
rotation of the body towards the right

clavicle is distorted because the rotation caused superimposing over spine

collimation is much too loose

CR is centered too low

slightly underexposed

no marker
corrections
A transthoracic or lateral Y projection should have been done...note the fracture of the scapular neck
no collimation is evident here, not a repeatable error but should collimate for better contrast

slightly overposed

marker is present
Which of the following AP proximal shoulder projections will demonstrate the lesser tubercle in profile?

External rotation
Neutral rotation
Internal rotation
None of the above
external
