About X-Ray Right Sternoclavicular Joint
An X- ray Right Sternoclavicular Joint is a specialized X-ray of the sternoclavicular joint (SC Joint), which is located at the junction of the right collarbone (clavicle) and breastbone (sternum). This joint acts as an extremely important connection that supports shoulder mobility and stability of the upper limb. The examination is typically done following an injury or if a person complains of pain, swelling, or limited range of motion around the base of their neck and upper chest. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy provides detailed images of the sternoclavicular joint using state-of-the-art digital radiography systems, which are essential for assessing the joint in a reliable manner.
What is an X-Ray Right Sternoclavicular Joint?
X-ray Right Sternoclavicular Joint (SC) is a simple imaging procedure that does not require any contrast dyes and is performed without causing pain. It aids physicians in the diagnosis of fractures, joint dislocations, arthritis, infections, and other bony abnormalities of the collarbone and sternum. This examination may be done after sports injuries, falls, road traffic accidents, or after people have been suffering persistent pain around the sternoclavicular area.
