Position: AP Shoulder Zanca The Zanca projection uses a cephalic angle to evaluate the AC joint with reduced superimposition. It is essential for diagnosing AC joint separation. Proper centering ensures diagnostic clarity. This projection complements weight bearing AC views. It is frequently used in orthopedic imaging.
Position: AP Shoulder Grashey Weight Bearing The weight bearing Grashey projection evaluates the glenohumeral joint under load. It is used for instability and arthritis. Proper rotation isolates the joint space. This projection complements standard Grashey. It is recognized in orthopedic assessment.
Position: AP Sinuses Trauma The AP trauma sinus projection evaluates sinus fractures and air fluid levels. A horizontal beam is essential. Proper centering ensures diagnostic clarity. This projection complements lateral trauma sinuses. It is used in emergency imaging.
Position: Axillary Shoulder West Point Prone The prone West Point projection demonstrates the anterior inferior glenoid rim. It evaluates Bankart lesions. Proper positioning requires prone alignment with arm abducted. This projection complements axillary and Stryker notch. It is a recognized ARRT special view.
Position: Lateral Sinuses Trauma The lateral trauma sinus projection demonstrates all sinus groups with a horizontal beam. It evaluates hemorrhage and fractures. Proper positioning prevents rotation. This projection complements AP trauma sinuses. It is recognized on ARRT exams.
Position: Axillary Shoulder West Point Supine The supine West Point projection is used when prone positioning is not possible. It demonstrates the anterior inferior glenoid rim. Proper angulation is essential. This projection complements prone West Point. It is used in trauma imaging.
Position: AP Facial Bones Trauma The AP trauma facial bones projection evaluates fractures without moving the patient. Proper centering ensures full facial visualization. This projection complements lateral trauma facial bones. It is used in emergency imaging.
Position: AP Elbow Jones The Jones projection demonstrates the distal humerus with the elbow acutely flexed. It is used when extension is impossible. Proper centering isolates the olecranon and distal humerus. This projection complements partial flexion elbow. It is recognized on ARRT exams.
Position: Lateral Facial Bones Trauma The lateral trauma facial bones projection demonstrates the facial bones in profile. It evaluates fractures and soft tissue swelling. Proper positioning prevents rotation. This projection complements AP trauma facial bones. It is recognized on ARRT exams.
Position: PA Elbow Jones The PA Jones projection demonstrates the olecranon process with acute flexion. It evaluates fractures and joint pathology. Proper positioning prevents distortion. This projection complements AP Jones. It is used in trauma imaging.
