(accessed on 08 Sep 2022) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-45087 The shoulder series is fundamentally composed of two orthogonal views of the glenohumeral joint including the entire scapula. The extension of the shoulder series depends on the radiography department protocols and the clinical indications for imaging. IndicationsShoulder radiographs are performed for a variety of indications including:
ProjectionsStandard projections
Modified trauma projections
Additional projections
Axial variants
ReferencesRelated articles: Imaging in practicePromoted articles (advertising)Which lateral projection can be performed to demonstrate the entire humerus for a patient with a Midhumeral fracture?Bontrager's Upper Extremities. Where should the CR be located for an AP projection of the shoulder joint?Central ray: The central ray should be perpendicular to the image receptor directed to the glenoid fossa or 2 inches medial and 2 inches inferior to the superolateral border of the shoulder.
What anatomy is best demonstrated in the AP projection of the shoulder in internal rotation?XR 103 final exam. Which additional view of the shoulder is usually performed to demonstrate dislocation?The axillary view is also an extremely valuable view if you are concerned for dislocation, as this view details the position of the humeral head relative to the glenoid fossa (Figure 3).
