"Preparing the room beforehand (setting up the detector, exposure and preparing lead gowns) is extremely beneficial for humerus imaging. As young children may already favour having their affected arm close to their body, gentle coaxing to place their hand on their stomach and slowly abducting their arm should assist in achieving the desired position."
