Shoulder joint AP & Lateral view near me C-8/193 Sec 8 Rohini Delhi 9811552279 7827070020 The shoulder AP view is a standard projection that makes up the two view shoulder series. The projection demonstrates the shoulder in its natural anatomical position allowing for adequate radiographic examination of the entire clavicle and scapula, as well as the glenohumeral, acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joints of the shoulder girdle. Indications This view helps in visualising potential fractures or dislocations to the proximal humerus and shoulder girdle in a trauma setting. Additionally, this view is useful in assessing for degenerative diseases which may be seen as calcium deposits in bursal structures, muscles or tendons around the shoulder. Patient position patient is preferably erect midcoronal plane of the patient is parallel to the image receptor, in other words, the patient's back is against the image receptor glenohumeral joint of the affected side is at the centre of the image receptor affected arm is in a neutral position by the patient side the patient is slightly rotated 5-10° toward the affected side. Therefore, the body of the scapula is laying parallel with the image receptor Technical factors anteroposterior projection centring point 2.5 cm inferior to the coracoid process, or 2 cm inferior to the lateral clavicle at the level of the glenohumeral joint collimation superior to the skin margins inferior to include one-third of the proximal humerus lateral to include the skin margin medial to include the sternoclavicular joint orientation landscape detector size 24 cm x 30 cm exposure 60-70 kVp 10-18 mAs SID 100 cm grid yes (this can vary departmentally) Image technical evaluation the entire clavicle is visualised alongside the glenoid cavity and scapula in the AP position a slight overlap of the humeral head with the glenoid no foreshortening of the scapular body (as per the patient rotation discussed in the positioning)
