Clavicle - Video Lesson

In this view, we will be demonstrating the AP clavicle. The AP clavicle should be performed with the patient standing at the upright buccy or lying supine on the radiographic table. With a forty inch source to image distance and no tube angulation. For the first few of the AP, we are going to use a forty inch SID. The central ray is centered right to the clavicle. We're gonna keep our collimation open And we're gonna center right here in between the jug clear notch and the lateral portion of the shoulder. We're putting a left marker on the left side. The patient's hand will turn forward so it's an anatomical position. Patient will take a big deep breath in, and they will let their breath all the way out. And the patient will hold very still and the exposure is taken.
