Exam 5: Humerus and Shoulder Girdle

Which of the following shoulder positions is considered a trauma projection (can be performed safely for a possible fracture or dislocation of the proximal humerus)?

Select the correct method name to match each shoulder projection.(Use each choice only once.) -Inferosuperior axial projection

Sonography is effective in the dynamic evaluation of the shoulder joint.

How much CR angulation is required for an asthenic patient for an AP axial projection of the clavicle?

Select the correct method name to match each shoulder projection.(Use each choice only once.) -Tangential, supraspinatus outlet projection

How much CR angulation should be used for a PA oblique (scapular Y) projection?

An AP apical oblique (Garth method) projection for an anteriorly dislocated scapulohumeral joint will project the humerus _____ to the glenoid cavity.

The affected arm should not be abducted for an AP scapula projection.

Which of the following structures is not part of the proximal humerus?

What type of compensating filter is recommended for an AP shoulder projection?

Select the correct method name to match each shoulder projection.(Use each choice only once.) -Tangential, intertubercular sulcus projection

Which of the following modalities best demonstrates shoulder joint pathology such as rotator cuff tears using dynamic evaluation techniques during joint movements?

What type of CR angle is required for the PA transaxillary projection (Hobbs modification)?

For an AP oblique (Grashey method) projection of the shoulder, the CR is centered to the acromion.

An inferosuperior axial projection (Clements modification) is performed on a patient with a nontraumatic shoulder injury.The patient cannot fully abduct the upper limb 90°.Which of the following modifications of the position should be performed for this patient?

For AC joint weight-bearing studies, patients should not be asked to hold on to the weights with their hands; rather, the weights should be attached to the wrists.

A patient comes to radiology for treatment of an arthritic condition of the right shoulder.The radiologist orders AP internal/external rotation projections and an inferosuperior axial projection of the scapulohumeral joint.However, the patient cannot abduct the arm for this projection.Which other projection will best demonstrate the scapulohumeral joint space?

Select the correct method name to match each shoulder projection.(Use each choice only once.) -AP apical oblique axial projection

Which of the following AP shoulder projections demonstrates the lesser tubercle in profile medially?

How much posterior CR angulation is required for the supine version of the tangential projection (Fisk modification) for the intertubercular (bicipital) sulcus?
