The patient sits or stands facing an erect image receptor.

The patient’s position is adjusted so that the middle of the clavicle is in the centre of the image receptor.

The patient’s head is turned away from the side being examined and the affected shoulder is rotated slightly forward to allow the affected clavicle to be brought into close contact with the image receptor or vertical Bucky DDR system.
