title: The cephaloscapular projection. A special diagnostic aid.
abstract: The cephaloscapular roentgenographic projection is a new projection for diagnosing subluxation about the glenohumeral joint. When properly projected, the acromion, glenoid, humeral head, and coracoid can be seen in independent relief. The relatively radiolucent clavicle overlies the area but does not obscure the landmarks. This view should prove useful in diagnosing a variety of acute and chronic shoulder problems.
