Salter. Salter was a British radiologist who specialized in the diagnosis of injuries to the musculoskeletal system. He developed the Y-view to provide a better view of the scapula, which is often difficult to see on other x-ray projections. • A doctor might order a lateral X-ray view of the scapula for several reasons. • Assessment of scapular fractures: A lateral view can provide valuable information about the alignment, displacement, or angulation of a scapular fracture. It helps in visualizing the scapular body, spine, and acromion process, allowing the doctor to evaluate the extent and severity of the fracture. • Identification of bony abnormalities: The lateral view can reveal any bony abnormalities or deformities of the scapula, such as bony spurs, tumors, or congenital anomalies. It helps in diagnosing conditions that affect the scapula's structure or development. • Evaluation of shoulder impingement: Shoulder impingement occurs when the structures around the shoulder joint, including the scapula, become compressed or irritated. A lateral view can help assess the position and alignment of the scapula relative to the humeral head, aiding in the diagnosis and management of shoulder impingement. • Assessment of shoulder dislocations: The lateral view can assist in identifying and characterizing shoulder dislocations. By visualizing the scapula in relation to the humerus, it can reveal any dislocation or subluxation of the joint, helping guide appropriate treatment. • Evaluation of scapular winging: Scapular winging, which involves abnormal protrusion or prominence of the scapula, can be assessed through the lateral view. It helps in evaluating the position and movement of the scapula, providing insights into the underlying causes of winging, such as nerve damage or muscle weakness. • #radiologix #xray #radiology #radiologytech #radiologytechnologist #radiological
