"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."

"Over-rotation is clearly established as the lateral border of the scapula (significantly thicker than the medial) is projected over the thorax along with the humeral head; to adjust this, rotated the unaffected side towards the image receptor slightly."
"The lateral border, as well as the humeral head, will be sitting overly lateral in the image; to fix this, rotated the unaffected side away from the detector to increase obliquity."
"Some departments will recommend a 15-degree caudal angle to achieve the ‘perfect’ lateral shoulder; it should be noted this is an entirely different projection known as an ‘outlet projection’ used primarily for the visualisation of the supraspinatus outlet; often aiding in the investigation of impingement, spurs and calcifications."
