ABSTRACT
Positioning for supero-inferior (axial) shoulder projection. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315382210/8ca82e7c-bd07-4171-b4f5-ebaded57b5b3/content/fig2_69a.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
The patient is seated with their affected side adjacent to the table, which is lowered to waist level.
The image receptor is placed on the table top, and the arm under examination is abducted over the table.
The patient leans towards the table to reduce the ORD and ensure that the glenoid cavity is included in the image.
The elbow can remain flexed, but the arm should be abducted to a minimum of 45 degrees, injury permitting. If only limited abduction is possible, the receptor may be supported on pads to reduce the ORD.
