X RAY LEFT SHOULDER AP/AXIAL

The shoulder joint is very flexible and is used frequently by people on a daily basis to perform simple tasks like lifting, reaching, pushing, pulling and rotating the arm. Because it has a wide range of motion, the shoulder is prone to injuries, fractures, dislocations, arthritis and other types of conditions. When pain, stiffness, swelling and limitation of motion develop, a precise and accurate diagnosis is essential to obtaining the most appropriate treatment. One of the most dependable imaging methods of examining the bones and joints of the left shoulder is by using X Ray Left Shoulder AP and Axial

What is an X Ray Left Shoulder AP and Axial?

X-ray imaging of the shoulder has two different types of images depending on how they are obtained. Basic X-ray techniques will provide an Anteroposterior image which provides an image of the shoulder that is internally rotated 90 degrees and will also produce an Axial image which provides an image taken from above looking straight down into the shoulder at the same time. The combination of AP and Axial images of the shoulder allows for an accurate assessment of the shoulder anatomy (bones or joints) to assist medical professionals in identifying potential injuries or diseases that may not be visible on just one type of X-ray image.
