(accessed on 08 Sep 2022) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-46498 The clavicle AP cephalic angulation view is a standard projection part of the clavicle series and is often used in conjunction with the AP clavicle view. On this page:This projection straightens out the clavicle and projects most of it above the scapula and second and third rib. It can help to determine angulation of fractures and dislocation 1.
Remember to move your detector to compensate for the cephalic angulation. This projection can often better demonstrate subtle clavicle fractures, if you can't see anything on the AP projection, this should be your next point of call.
