Shoulder Joint and Anatomy
1. Terms that describe the shoulder joint:
- Scapulohumeral & Glenohumeral
2. Joint at the lateral end of the clavicle:
- Acromioclavicular joint
3. Angles found on the scapula:
- Inferior, lateral, & superior angles
4. Structure of the scapula that extends most anteriorly:
- Coracoid process
5. True/False: The male clavicle is shorter and less curved than the female clavicle.
- False
6. Bony structure separating the supraspinous and infraspinous fossae:
- Scapulae spine
7. The structure considered most posterior:
- Acromion
8. Type of movement at the scapulohumeral joint:
- Spheroidal (ball-and-socket)
Technical Considerations for Adult Shoulder Radiography
, 1. Technical consideration that does NOT apply for adult shoulder radiography:
- A: Center and right automatic exposure control (AEC) chamber activated.
2. True/False: Gonadal shielding should be used for children and adults of childbearing age.
- True
3. True/False: The greatest technical concern during a pediatric shoulder study is voluntary movement.
- True
Imaging Modalities and Procedures
1. Best modality to demonstrate osteomyelitis:
- Nuclear medicine
2. Modality providing a functional, or dynamic, study of the shoulder:
- Ultrasound
3. Projection/position best demonstrating signs of impingement syndrome:
- Scapula Y (Neer method)
4. Pathologic condition producing narrowing of the joint space:
- Osteoarthritis
5. Pathologic condition that may require a reduction in manual exposure factors:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
Shoulder Projections
1. Basic projection requiring humeral epicondyles parallel to the IR:
- External rotation
