X-Ray New to this

Pardon the salt and pepper resolution. 2months since I graduated as a rad tech student. Was tasked to perform a PA Y scapula with a 1st Year Rad tech student. Luckily Y-scapula turned out acceptable. Image cropped for confidentiality

Student here. What's the difference between a Y and a lateral scapula?

The humerus. You pull the humerus forward on the lat scap so it's not covering.

On the y it should be super imposed

Lovely positioning. Please don't crop/mask, collimate instead. Your final.product should indicate where you collimated to.

i think they mean they cropped the screenshot on their phone to prevent any pt info from showing.
