Radiographic series
-
shoulder series
- multi-projection set examining the entirety of the shoulder girdle often consisting of an AP and lateral projection
-
acromioclavicular joint series
- specialized radiographic set examining the acromioclavicular joint often comprising of a single view
-
clavicle series
- specialized radiographic set examining the clavicle comprised of two projections
-
sternoclavicular joint series
- radiographic series investigating the sternoclavicular joint
-
scapulae series
- series assessing the entirety of the scapular often similar to the shoulder series
