| 15394985386 | Routine | May include both the AP and AP Axial PA projection | 0 | |
| 15395007181 | SID | 40 | 1 | |
| 15395007182 | IR | Landscape (10 x 12) | 2 | |
| 15395016888 | Collimation | Collimate to area of clavicle. ensure that both AC and sternoclavicular joints and included. | 3 | |
| 15395057571 | Patient Position | Perform radiograph with patient in erect or supine position with arms at sides, chin raised, and looking straight ahead. Posterior shoulder should be in contact with IR or tabletop, without rotation of body. | 4 | |
| 15395067051 | Part Position | Center clavicle and IR to CR. (Clavicle can be readily palpated with medial aspect at jugular notch and lateral portion at AC joint above shoulder.) | 5 | |
| 15395117481 | CR (AP) | CR perpendicular to midclavicular |  | 6 |
| 15395133687 | CR (AP Axial) | CR 15 to 30 degrees cephalad to midclavicle |  | 7 |
| 15395158957 | Respiration | Suspend respiration at end of inhalation (helps to elevate clavicles) | 8 | |
| 15395257141 | Position Criteria (AP) | Clavicle is demonstrated without any foreshortening. The midclavicle is superimposed on the superior scapular angle. Collimation borders should be visible. |  | 9 |
| 15395293450 | Anatomy Criteria (AP) | Entire clavicle visualized, including both AC and sternoclavicular joints and acromion. | | 10 |
| 15395308020 | Exposure Criteria (AP) | Midclavicle, sternal, and acromial extremities demonstrate clear, sharp bony trabecular markings and soft tissue detail. | | 11 |
| 15395269291 | Position Criteria (AP Axial) | Correct angulation of CR projects most of the clavicle above the scapula and second and third ribs. Only the medial portion of the clavicle is superimposed by the first and second ribs. |  | 12 |
| 15395338413 | Anatomy Criteria (AP Axial) | Entire clavicle visualized, including both AC and sternoclavicular joints and acromion. | | 13 |
| 15395351529 | Exposure Criteria (AP Axial) | Optimal exposure demonstrates the distal clavicle and AC joint without excessive density (brightness). Bony margins and trabecular markings should appear sharp indicating no motion, and medial clavicle and sternoclavicular joint should be visualized through the thorax. | | 14 |
