2024年4月12日 · The lateral scapula shoulder or Y view is part of the standard shoulder series. Orthogonal to the AP shoulder (note: as is an axillary view); this view is a pertinent projection to assess suspected dislocations, scapula fractures, and degenerative changes. It is also useful in seeing both the coracoid and acromion process in profile.

The Y view anatomy: The Y view is shot in an angle that separates the scapula and humerus from the ribs. It’s essentially a true lateral of the scapula. The scapula looks like a Y when viewed laterally. Laterally, the body of the scapula, acromion, …

2020年12月12日 · AP view. When looking at the GHJ, the glenoid fossa (the “socket”) should be visible as a concavity medial to the humeral head (the “ball”). Scapular Y/lateral view. The humeral head lies on top of the glenoid fossa, with the coracoid process anterior to it (the side of the ribcage represents anterior in this view). Anterior shoulder ...

The X-ray shoulder Y view differs from standard frontal or lateral views by providing a unique angle that highlights the scapula’s shape. This perspective is crucial for assessing joint space and identifying specific injuries that may not be visible in other views, making it …

Scapular Y-View. The scapular “Y” projection is useful in evaluating anterior and posterior shoulder dislocations. Clinicians highly recommend this view for the minimal shoulder motion necessary to obtain it (8). Information from comparing the axillary and scapular Y-views demonstrates no significant difference in detecting abnormalities.

In this view, we will be demonstrating the scapular y view of the shoulder. The scapular y view of the shoulder should be performed with the patient standing at the upright buccy or lying prone on the radiographic table with a forty inch source to image distance and no tube angulation.

2012年4月21日 · A true lateral view of the scapula, proximal humerus, and scapulohumeral joint. Position: The thin body of the scapula should be seen on end without rib superimposition. The acromion and coracoid processes should appear as nearly symmetric upper limbs of the Y.

In the Y view, lines drawn through the acromion (blue arrow), coracoid (black arrow), and scapular body (red arrow) intersect at the center of the glenoid fossa. In this x-ray, the humeral head is outside of and posterior to the glenoid fossa, indicating a posterior dislocation.

2016年2月20日 · The axial view is taken with the arm abducted; this view will show dislocation clearly and is particularly useful for demonstrating small, avulsed fracture fragments. When it is painful to abduct the arm, the ‘Y’ view is a useful alternative, as it requires no shoulder movement.

2018年3月22日 · It describes the ossification centers of bones in the shoulder joint and provides details on positioning and technical factors for common projections like anteroposterior, superoinferior, and clinical indications for additional projections like the Y …
