External Rotation, Lateral Surface
The adequately demonstrate the shoulder in a “true” AP, the patient should be rotated?
Slightly toward the arm being examined.
The CR is directed ____ for an AP projection of the shoulder.
1’ inferior to the coracoid process.
The lesser tubercle will be visualized on the _____ surface with the ___ rotation of the arm for an AP shoulder radiograph.
Madial, Internal
The inferosuperior axial projection of the glenohumeral joint is known as the _____ method.
Lawrence
Fisk method is used for?
arthogram, intertubercular groove
The arm is abducted ____ degrees if possible for the inferosuperior axial projection of the glenohumeral joint.
90
The hand is _____ for the AP humerus
supinated
The transthoracic lateral upper humerus requires that the ______ arm be positioned _____.
Affected arm down at patients side.
The transthoracic lateral upper humerus requires the remote arm to be?
up out of the view.
If the patient is unable to adequately separate their shoulders for the transthoracic lateral projection, the CR should be adjusted _____.
10-15 degress cephalic.
2 respiration instructions for the transthoracic lateral projection of the shoulder.
suspend on full inspiration, slow deep breathing with a long exposure.
Explain why you would use respiration techniques on transthorasic lateral
to imporve contrast, to blur out lung and rub markings
the routine for a humerus is to have a patient rotate their hand and arm for 2 separate radiographs. if the hand is internally rotated, this is considered a _______ of the humerus.
lateral
For a routine humerus there is one position that has the hand and arm externally rotated this position is the?
AP
the CR should be directed to the ___ for a PA hand radiograph
Third MCPJ

recumbent patient, vertical IR, horizontal CR
the shoulder joint is made by the articulation of the __ and the __
humeral head and glenoid fossa
what is the shoulder joint also called?
glenohumeral joint
The scapular Y position is beneficial for dislocations. State the structures that make the Y appearance on the radiograph.
The border of the scapula and the humerus superimposed makes up the stem, and the acromion and coracoid make up the top part.
How would the anterior dislocation appear on the scapular Y
the humeral head will be beneath the coracoid/ medial side.
How would the posterior dislocation appear on the scapular Y
the humeral head will be beneath the acromion/ lateral side
If a patient is able to sit of stand up fro a scapular Y radiograph, what oblique would be beneficial/ preferred if the left should was the injured one?
LAO, Affected side closest
If the patient is not about to sit up and you had to do the scapular Y recumbent, what position would be beneficial for the left shoulder.
RPO
How many degrees do we oblique the patient for a scapular Y radiograph?
45-60

Affected side away
Is the affected side away or closest to when going PA?
Affected side closest to
