Anatomy of Shoulder X-rays

Dr. Morton, an anatomist, uses X-rays to teach shoulder anatomy, focusing on AP, lateral Y, and superior inferior axial views. He explains the anatomy visible in each view, including the clavicle, scapula, and humerus, and highlights key landmarks like the acromion, coracoid process, and glenoid cavity. The video emphasizes understanding shoulder anatomy rather than radiology, detailing the significance of different views for identifying structures and potential issues like dislocations and fractures.
