Normal AP oblique shoulder radiograph

Normal AP oblique internal rotation view (Grashey view).  It is also known as a "true AP" view since the view is AP to the scapular instead of AP to the patient.

The AP oblique Grashey view is obtained with the patient rotated 35-45 degrees and his or her back (scapular body) up against the imaging detector.
