About X-Ray Left Shoulder AP & Axial Views

An X-ray of the left shoulder, AP and axial views, is a specialized imaging study to obtain two views of the left shoulder joint. The Axial view is a cross-sectional view of a shoulder joint, and the Anteroposterior (AP) view is a frontal view. When combined, these views make it possible to see a complete view of the humeral head, glenoid cavity, clavicle, acromion, scapula, and other bones to assess the alignment of the shoulder joint. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy employs state-of-the-art digital radiography systems to generate detailed images used for precise diagnosis of shoulder problems and musculoskeletal conditions.

What is an X-Ray Left Shoulder AP & Axial Views?

X-Ray Left Shoulder AP & Axial Views is a quick, painless, and non-invasive imaging study to assess the bony and joint structures of the left shoulder. They are very helpful for assessing the proper position of the bones, identifying fractures, shoulder dislocation, and shoulder joint degenerative or inflammatory changes when combined with having both the AP and axial projections taken. This exam is usually ordered for people who have pain, trauma, instabilities, or limited motion in their shoulder.

  • Persistent shoulder pain
  • Suspected shoulder fracture
