The innovative digital X-ray imaging technology within this device creates a high-resolution left posteroanterior (PA) Oblique view of the left sternoclavicular (SC) joint that helps our board-certified physicians diagnose any joint dislocation, fracture, arthritis, infection, or problem in the collar bone/ chest joint. Our very skilled radiologist is adept at providing accurate imaging scans whilst minimizing radiation exposure to the extent possible; this means that we can provide an accurate diagnosis and correct planning of treatment is achievable after a relatively quick report.
About X-Ray Left Sternoclavicular Joint PA Oblique View
An X-ray Left Sternoclavicular Joint PA Oblique is a special type of X-ray imaging procedure that uses a special angle (PA Oblique) to take an X-ray of the left sternoclavicular joint of the collarbone (clavicle) and breastbone (sternum). This helps to prevent overlap, allowing a clearer visualization of the level of the joint space and the orientation and angulation of the surrounding bones. To give you accurate diagnoses for the sternoclavicular and musculoskeletal joint injuries, Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy uses state-of-the-art digital radiography systems.
What is an X-Ray Left Sternoclavicular Joint PA Oblique View?
X-ray Left Sternoclavicular Joint PA Oblique View is an imaging procedure that provides a quick and non-invasive examination of the left sternoclavicular joint without causing any pain. A lateral view of the PA projection is helpful to the physician in determining the alignment of joints, fractures, dislocations, or in understanding degenerative and inflammatory changes of the joints. This test is frequently used in patients with pain, swelling, or injury of the collarbone (humerus) or upper chest area.

- Pain near the left sternoclavicular joint
- Injury following a fall, sports accident, or trauma
- Suspected sternoclavicular joint dislocation
- Suspected clavicle fracture near the joint
- Swelling or tenderness over the joint
- Evaluation of arthritis
- Follow-up after surgery or fracture treatment
