➡️ LESSON DESCRIPTION:
This video's objective is to provide detailed instructions for taking routine humerus radiographs. Radiographic positioning included in this video are the anteroposterior (AP) and lateral humerus. *Discuss radiographic techniques using anatomic and projection terminology for the anteroposterior (AP) and lateral humerus. *Apply patient positioning techniques for common humerus radiographs. *List and identify the central ray location, image receptor (IR) size, marker placement, and image receptor placement. *Explain radiographic equipment manipulation for required radiographic examinations. *Describe procedural considerations for required radiographic examinations. *Discuss the relevance of pathology in radiographic procedures. *Explain the rationale for each projection. *Describe the positioning used to visualize anatomic structures.

Never include the chest and abdomen in the AP humerus. That is an instant fail. At 2.30 we see the positioning for the AP humerus but there is no way that projection will produce a lateral elbow. Instead, always do it PA so the entire humerus can be pressed up against the bucky. This will be more comfortable for the patient, particularly if there have a fracture. Instead of using centring points, use accurate collimation.
