Thank you for the video

Well done. Good instructional video. I have been looking at shoulder xrays from KZbin tutors from the Indian subcontinent and they don't collimate at all. For example, a clavicle xray will also involve primary beam dose to all of the skull, cervical spine, humerus, forearm, and most of the chest and abdomen, and then they will not include a 30 degree uptilt.

Could you make a video on Y view shoulder/scapula, I'm a student and I have the most difficulty with these projections. Love your videos and your approach to xray.

I retired 6 years ago after 40 years of general radiography in 40 different practices. I have no access to patients or images or a graphics program. My approach was unconventional because it relied on understanding the anatomy and learning directly from experience. The shoulder Y view is best done with a 10 degree down tilt with the arm and forearm touching the erect bucky. With most patients the scapula can be felt directly. Rotate the collimator to improve collimation. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, jus the sure you learn from them.@@wilson2545

The complication with the shoulder is that it can be shrugged forward, backward, up and down. Try to do laterals with the shoulders shrugged forward. That removes a way to make errors of judgement. As with the spine, put your patient in a standard position that best suits the geometry of the projection. In this way you are rewarded with increased accuracy buzz and pride rather than task completion to a satisfactory standard. Become a master of the art. That is its own reward @@wilson2545
