Which ribs are demonstrated on an AP oblique projection? Which ribs are demonstrated on an AP oblique projection? side closest to the IR The side of interest in the AP oblique projection is the side closest to the IR. If the pt. is having pain posteriorly on the left side, then the position should be the LPO
The sternoclavicular joints are best demonstrated with the patient PA and: In a slight oblique position, affected side adjacent to the image receptor. To reduce OID SC joints should be done PA; A slight oblique of @ 15 degrees will open the joint closest to the IR. Positioning is similar to that of the oblique sternum.

What is the typical range of motion for the sternoclavicular joint?

The SC joint is one of five articulations that permit fluid movement of the shoulder girdle. Functionally, it is a diarthrodial, multiaxial joint that provides 35 degrees range of motion for movement in the horizontal and coronal planes and 70 degrees range of motion anteroposteriorly.

Can the sternoclavicular joint rotate?

The sternoclavicular joint allows movement of the clavicle in three planes, predominantly in the anteroposterior and vertical planes, although some rotation also occurs.

What is the degree of obliquity patient position in the PA oblique sternum?

Patient position Anterior (PA) oblique projections are obtained with patient upright with respective side of the chest rotated 45 degrees against the IR. The patient's arm that is closest to the cassette should be flexed, with the hand resting on the hip. The patient's opposite arm should be raised as high as possible.

How many movements are available at the sternoclavicular joint?

Specifically, the movements of the sternoclavicular joint are sorted into three degrees of freedom; elevation - depression, protraction - retraction, and axial rotation.
