Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tangential supraspinatus outlet projection (Neer method) requires the arm to be abducted with the midcoronal plane at a 60-degree angle to the image receptor (IR), a 10- to 15-degree caudal central ray angulation, the central ray centered to the superior aspect of the humeral head, and the midcoronal plane to be vertical for accurate positioning.
