Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an AP axial projection of the clavicle, only the medial end should superimpose the first or second ribs, while most of the clavicle should be projected above the ribs. The lateral end should not superimpose the coracoid process. Therefore, choices 1 and 3 are correct, making option B the best choice. Choice D is incorrect because the lateral end of the clavicle should not superimpose the coracoid process.
