An accurate PA oblique scapular Y shoulder projection is obtained
A) when an imaginary line connecting the coracoid process and acromion angle is aligned perpendicular to the IR.
B) when the resulting image demonstrates the superior scapular angle positioned superior to the clavicle.
C) when an imaginary line connecting the coracoid process and acromion angle is aligned parallel with the IR.
D) only when the glenoid cavity superimposes the humeral head.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DFor an accurate PA oblique scapular Y shoulder projection, the line connecting the coracoid process and acromion angle should be parallel with the image receptor (IR) to properly position the shoulder. Additionally, the glenoid cavity should superimpose the humeral head to ensure that the shoulder is correctly visualized in the Y view, indicating proper alignment and positioning for diagnostic purposes.
