Which evaluation criteria indicates that the humerus was properly positioned for the AP projection?Which evaluation criteria indicates that the humerus was properly positioned for the AP projection? The humeral head and greater tubercle are both seen in profile. With reference to the plane of the IR, how is it determined that the humerus is properly positioned in true lateral position.
How should the hand be placed for the AP projection of the humerus?Positioning for an AP projection of the humerus
Abduct the arm slightly, and supinate the hand so that epicondyles of the elbow are equidistant from IR. A coronal plane passing through the epicondyles should be parallel with the cassette plane for the AP or posteroanterior (PA) projection. Respiration: suspend.
What criterion is used to determine whether the AP axial clavicle has been correctly positioned?What criterion is used to determine whether the AP axial clavicle has been correctly positioned? The lateral half of the clavicle is shown above the scapula. Most of the clavicle is projected above the ribs and scapula, with the medial end overlapping the first or second rib.
When performing AP projections of the shoulder where should the central ray be directed?Central ray: The central ray should be directed to the scapulohumeral joint perpendicular to the image receptor. For an AP Axial, a cephalic angle of 35 degrees.
