Name of projection | Sternoclavicular - Oblique |
Area Covered | The manubrium, medial portion of the clavicles and sternoclavicular joint closer to the IR |
Pathology shown | Separation of sternoclavicular joint or other pathology, best visualising the sternoclavicular joint closer to the IR, the other SC joint will be foreshortened |

Film / Screen Combination | Regular (CR and DR as recommended by manufacturer) |
Bucky / Grid | Moving or Stationary Grid |
Filter | No |
Exposure | 65 kVp 25 mAs |
FFD / SID | 100cm |
Central Ray | CR perpendicular to IR CR centred to level of T2 to T3 (7cm distal to vertebral prominens) and 5cm lateral (toward upside) to midsagittal plane |
Collimation | Four sides of collimation Closely collimate to area of interest |
Markers | Lateral Marker orientation PA Mark joint closer to IR ie: RAO best demonstrates the right SC joint |
Shielding | Gonadal (check your department's policy guidelines) |
Respiration | suspended on expiration for a more uniform density |
