Document Summary

Lecture 8. 2: msk imaging 3 upper limb. Collection of views of a body area. Necessary to adequately visualize the area of interest. Series selected is based on scenario and clinical question. Suspicion of injury to shoulder joint (usually trauma, sometimes degenerative disease) Ap: useful for showing degree and direction of dislocations. Lateral: similar to shoulder y view, entire humerus included. Ap: distal humerus, proximal radius and ulna, both lateral epicondyles. Lateral: detail of ulnar trochleoid joint, coronaid process, olecranon process, useful for assessing alignment. Modified view: external oblique, shows radial head with minimal superimposition -> assess for subtle injuries at head or neck of radius. Ap: radius and ulna supinated in anatomical position, large amounts of distortion when assessing wrist or elbow joint. Lateral: partial overlapping of ulna and radius. Pa: carpal bones, radius and ulna. Oblique: useful for increasing sensitivity for finding subtle injuries.
