Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The inferosuperior axial shoulder projection and the AP oblique shoulder projection (Grashey method) are specifically designed to demonstrate the glenohumeral joint space as an open space. The transthoracic lateral shoulder projection and the PA oblique scapular Y shoulder projection are not specifically designed for this purpose, although they can help visualize the joint from different angles. Therefore, options 1, 2, and 4 are not the best choice, leaving option B (1 and 3 only) as the best choice.
