X RAY BOTH SHOULDER AXIAL

An X-Ray Both Shoulder Axial is an advanced radiograph test that allows for an assessment of both shoulder joints (left and right) from vertical and horizontal angles. While standard X-ray views of the shoulder provide true front (anterior) and side (lateral) perspectives, the axial view allows for a unique perspective of the relationship of the Humeral Head to the Glenoid Cavity. The addition of the axial view allows for better identification of shoulder dislocations, fractures, arthritis, instability, and other abnormalities that would be difficult to visualise on standard radiographs.

At City Imaging, we believe that providing accurate radiographs is essential for diagnosing those who experience pain and injuries related to their shoulder. We utilise the latest technology in digital radiography to produce high-quality radiographs while minimising the radiation dosage received by our patients. Our radiology staff includes experienced radiologists and trained technologists who work together as a team to make sure that each patient has a comfortable experience and receives reliable diagnostic results. The cost for X RAY Both Shoulder Axial ranges from INR 600 to INR 1000.

What is an X-Ray Both Shoulder Axial?

The procedure used to obtain X-Ray Both Shoulder Axial is through a diagnostic imaging process that obtains both axial patient images of each shoulder. The X-ray is passed through the shoulder joint in the axial position; therefore, in this view, the X-ray beam passes through the shoulder joint from the lower or upper position, producing a cross-sectional view of the joint.

Unlike routine AP views, the axial projection allows doctors to examine:

• The alignment of the humeral head.
• The glenoid cavity.
• Joint Congruity.
• Shoulder stability.
• Joint space.
• Fractures around the shoulder.
• Degenerative changes.
