Exam 6: Shoulder Girdle

Patients often arrive in the radiology department with trauma to the shoulder.Which of the following positions is recommended for x-ray examination of the shoulder on these patients?

How far (approximately)should the head,shoulders,and elbow be elevated for the inferosuperior axial projection (Lawrence)of the shoulder?

How is the central ray directed for an inferosuperior axial projection (Lawrence)of the shoulder joint?

Two exposures are commonly made of the AC joints-one without weights and one with weights.How are the weights applied?

When the tangential projection of the intertubercular groove is performed with the patient supine,the position of the hand is:

The use of compensating filters is particularly useful when using:
