Question

What projection (method) is demonstrated in the image below?

A) AP oblique (modified Cleaves) 
B) Mediolateral (Lauenstein) 
C) Axiolateral (Danelius-Miller) 
D) AP oblique (Judet)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The image demonstrates an axiolateral projection, specifically the Danelius-Miller method, as indicated by the perpendicularity of the central ray to the cassette and the positioning of the patient's arm. Option A is incorrect as the modified Cleaves projection would require a different arm positioning. Option B is incorrect as the Lauenstein projection is a mediolateral oblique view of the hip, not the shoulder. Option D is incorrect as the Judet projection would require a different arm positioning as well as a significant angulation of the central ray.
