"The modified transthoracic supine lateral scapula is a modification of the supine lateral shoulder, used to safely image patients on spinal precautions, or patients who are unable to move; often employed in major trauma hospitals, it produces a diagnostic lateral projection of the shoulder with no elongation of anatomical structures. Orthogonal to the AP shoulder (note so is an axillary view); It is a pertinent projection to assess suspected dislocations, scapula fractures and degenerative changes."

"The modified supine lateral view is performed to identify dislocations and scapula fractures when patients are unable to move and are supine."

"This modified projection is also known as the ‘music stand’ method, radiographers used to bring sheet music stands to hold the cassette under the table, the advantage of the music stand being its slant and sheet holder; perfect for the cassette."

"Over-rotation is clearly established as the lateral border of the scapular (significantly thicker than the medial) is projected over the thorax along with the humeral head; to adjust this, bring the tube to be more vertical for example 40 to 35 degrees."

Line 66:175 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"The lateral border, as well as the humeral head, will be sitting overly lateral in the image; to adjust this, bring the tube to be more horizontal for example 40 to 45 degrees."
