1. Which of the following shoulder projections best demonstrates the glenoid cavity
in profile?
Grashey method
Clements
modification Garth
method
AP shoulder, neutral rotation
Grashey method
2. A patient enters the ED with a possible AC joint separation. The patient is
paraplegic; therefore, the study cannot be done erect. Which of the following
routines would be performed to diagnose this condition?
Non-weight-bearing and weight-bearing types of projections performed with the
patient recumbent by pulling down on the shoulders.
Recumbent AP and AP axial projection of the clavicles to include AC joints.
AP projections of shoulders with external and internal rotation performed
recumbent. AP and AP apical oblique projection of the shoulder performed
recumbent.
Non-weight-bearing and weight-bearing types of projections performed with the
patient recumbent by pulling down on the shoulders.

3. A radiograph of an PA axial projection of the clavicle demonstrates that the
clavicle is superimposed over the scapular spine. What should the technologist do to
correct this error?
Do nothing; this is an acceptable AP axial clavicle
projection. Increase the caudad CR angle during repeat
exposure.
Increase the cephalic CR angle during repeat
exposure. Make the exposure upon complete
inspiration.
Increase the caudad CR angle during repeat exposure.
4. A radiograph of a transthoracic lateral projection reveals that it is difficult to
visualize the proximal humerus due to the ribs and lung markings. The following
analog exposure factors were used: 75 kVp, 30 mAs, 40-inch (100-cm) SID, grid,
and suspended
respiration. Which of the following changes will improve the visibility of the
proximal humerus?
Make the exposure on second inspiration.
Use a compression band to prevent patient movement. Use a 72-inch (180-cm) SID.
Use an orthostatic (breathing) technique.
use an orthostatic (breathing) technique.

5. Which alternative landmark can be palpated if unable to locate the coracoid
process for the shoulder projection for the obese shoulder?
Inferior angle of scapula
Greater tubercle of
humerus AC joint
Lesser tubercle of humerus
AC joint
6. How much CR angulation is required for an asthenic patient for an AP axial
projection of the clavicle?
15 degrees
30 degrees
45 degrees
No CR angulation should be used for this projection
30 degrees
7. How much and which way should the CR be angled to view the supraspinatus
outlet on a Neer Method projection of the shoulder? (2 answers)
CR angle 10-15
caudad

8. Which of the following AP shoulder projections demonstrates the greater tubercle
in profile medially?
External
rotation
Internal
rotation
Neutral
rotation
None of the options
None of the options
9. Where is the CR centered for the AP oblique (Grashey method) position for the
glenoid cavity?
Acromion
2 inches (5 cm) medial and inferior to the superolateral border of
shoulder Coracoid process
1-inch (2.5-cm) superior to the coracoid process
2 inches (5 cm) medial and inferior to the superolateral border of shoulder
