X-RAY SINGLE SHOULDER LATERAL

What is a X-RAY SINGLE SHOULDER LATERAL?

X-Ray Single Shoulder Lateral is a diagnostic imaging examination that captures a side-view image of one shoulder joint using X-ray technology. This painless, non-invasive test provides detailed visualization of the shoulder bones and joint alignment, including the humeral head, scapula, and clavicle. It is commonly performed alongside an AP (Anteroposterior) shoulder X-ray to obtain complementary views of the joint, helping physicians accurately diagnose fractures, dislocations, arthritis, bone spurs, and other shoulder abnormalities.
