Adjusting the patient

U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Jason Grosso positions Staff Sgt. Mike George, both diagnostic imaging technologists with the 35th Surgical Operations Squadron, so he’s able to capture a Grashey’s view image of the shoulder using a semi-digital x-ray machine that turns radiation into light at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Jan. 27, 2016. The Grashey view is designed to prevent overlap of the humeral head and the glenoid. The patient is positioned with their back toward the image detector and body angled at 35 to 45 degrees with their scapula up against the detector and humerus internally rotated. Grosso hails from Bridgman, Michigan, and George is a Lewiston, Idaho, native. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton)
