(accessed on 26 Sep 2022) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-45087 The shoulder series is fundamentally composed of two orthogonal views of the glenohumeral joint including the entire scapula. The extension of the shoulder series depends on the radiography department protocols and the clinical indications for imaging. IndicationsShoulder radiographs are performed for a variety of indications including:
ProjectionsStandard projections
Modified trauma projections
Additional projections
Axial variants

In which position of the shoulder is the lesser tubercle demonstrated in profile on the medial aspect of the humeral head quizlet?In anatomic position, the lesser tubercle lies on the anterior surface of the humerus between the head and the greater tubercle. When the humerus is rotated into internal rotation for shoulder images, the lesser tubercle rolls medially and is visible in profile near the glenoid.
