"The clavicle AP view is a standard projection part of the clavicle series. The projection demonstrates the shoulder in its natural anatomical position allowing for adequate radiographic examination of the entire clavicle."
"The AP clavicle is often indicated in patients with suspected clavicular injuries following trauma such as falling onto ones side. It can be requested as part of a concentrated radiograph to assess for metastasis or multiple myeloma. It is seldom conducted in isolation, often part one of the two part clavicle series. It is an ideal projection to asses the AC joint although not so ideal to inspect the sternoclavicular joint (see sternoclavicular joint series for a better alternative)."
