I wish I could, these are just simulations. Maybe in the future I can make new videos with the images at the end. Thanks!

Why aren’t these anterior x-rays? How can they see the sternoclavicular joint properly through the vertebrae, scapula and rib cage?

[@xrayimaginglady2586]

I'm sorry somehow, I missed your comment. SC joints are done posterior because we want to put the anatomy, we are imaging closest to the Image receptor. Even if we did it anterior the vertebrae would be superimposed. We perform the obliques to move the SC joints away from the spine for better visualization. The scapulae are far enough away that it doesn't interfere.
