About X-Ray Left Scapula AP View
This is an AP with the Left Scapula – a special type of X-ray study of the scapula that takes a picture of the front (anterior) of the scapula from the front. An excellent view of the body of the scapula, scapular spine, acromion, coracoid process, glenoid cavity, and surrounding bones. It is often used to assess injuries, fractures, or abnormalities of the shoulder blade. Advanced digital radiography systems are used at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy to capture high-resolution images used to accurately diagnose scapular injuries and musculoskeletal diseases.
What is an X-Ray Left Scapula AP View?
An X-Ray Left Scapula AP View is a fast, comfortable, and non-invasive radiologic test that assesses the left shoulder blade. The AP will help the doctor determine the alignment of bones, rule out fractures, diagnose structural problems, and look for changes in the bones that may be caused by degeneration or trauma involving the scapula. Shoulder pain, trauma, swelling, and decreased motion of the shoulder are often indications for this examination.

- Persistent pain around the shoulder blade
- Suspected scapular fracture
- Swelling or tenderness over the shoulder
- Difficulty moving the shoulder
