    Study Notes

    Shoulder Trauma Imaging Techniques

    • The Neer method is used for special supraspinatus outlet shoulder trauma imaging
    • Neer method requires a 10° to 15° caudal angle for the CR, and the projection passes through the superior margin of the humeral head
    • The routine technique for shoulder trauma imaging includes aP (neutral rotation) and Scapular Y lateral
    • For the scapular Y lateral, the patient is positioned in an anterior oblique position, with the amount of body obliquity ranging from 45° to 60°
    • The CR for the scapular Y lateral is perpendicular to the IR, directed to the scapulohumeral joint
    • The evaluation criteria for the scapular Y lateral include demonstrating a true lateral view of the scapula, proximal humerus, and scapulohumeral joint
    • Clinical indications for shoulder trauma imaging include fractures or dislocations of the proximal humerus and shoulder girdle, as well as calcium deposits in muscles, tendons, or bursal structures
    • The routine technique for shoulder trauma imaging also includes an AP (neutral rotation) and Transthoracic lateral
    • For the AP (neutral rotation), the CR is directed to the midscapulohumeral joint, approximately 3/4 inch (2 cm) inferior and slightly lateral to the coracoid process
    • The patient position for the AP (neutral rotation) is either erect or supine, and the body is rotated slightly toward the affected side if necessary
    • The CR for the AP (neutral rotation) is perpendicular to the IR, directed to the midscapulohumeral joint
    • Collimation on four sides is recommended for all the mentioned shoulder trauma imaging techniques
