The shoulder girdle's complex structure provides one of the widest ranges of motion in the body, enabling numerous daily activities. However, this versatility and mobility also mean increased vulnerability. A shoulder x-ray is a critical procedure for diagnosing pain, injuries, and conditions in the shoulder area. Újbuda Medical Center offers state-of-the-art technology and expertise to help patients return to a pain-free life as soon as possible.


When Is a Shoulder X-Ray Recommended?

Despite the exceptional mobility and load-bearing capacity of the shoulder girdle, it is unfortunately not immune to injuries and various degenerative conditions. A shoulder x-ray is a crucial step when dealing with shoulder pain, limited movement, or assessing the consequences of a recent injury. This examination is recommended in various situations, with the most common being:


  • Injuries and Trauma: Shoulder x-rays are essential for identifying fractures, dislocations, and other structural damage resulting from falls, traffic accidents, sports collisions, or other physical trauma.


  • Chronic Pain: If shoulder pain persists and doesn't improve with rest, anti-inflammatory treatments, or physical therapy, the x-ray can help identify the source of the pain.


  • Restricted Movement: If the range of motion in the shoulder becomes limited without a clear cause, x-rays can help rule out structural issues like bone spurs or joint wear.


  • Degenerative Diseases: In cases of arthritis or other degenerative joint diseases, a shoulder x-ray helps assess the stage of the disease, which is essential for developing the appropriate treatment plan.


  • Post-Surgery Follow-Up: For patients who have undergone shoulder surgery, periodic x-rays may be needed to monitor the condition of the joint structures and the long-term effects of the surgery.


A shoulder x-ray not only helps identify the problem but also provides essential information about further treatment options, whether conservative therapy or surgical intervention is necessary. Újbuda Medical Center's expert team uses the latest digital x-ray technology to ensure quick and accurate diagnosis, allowing patients to receive the best possible treatment. We also prioritize minimizing radiation exposure for patients, ensuring the maximum safety of the procedures.


Shoulder X-Ray Procedure

A shoulder x-ray is a fundamental yet crucial step in diagnosing shoulder issues. Újbuda Medical Center's modern digital x-ray technology and high level of expertise ensure that the procedure is fast, accurate, and as comfortable as possible for patients. But what exactly happens during the examination?


  • Preparation: Upon arrival, the patient participates in a brief consultation where the x-ray technician or attending physician explains the procedure and asks about the patient’s current health status and the indication for the exam. It is important to mention any prior surgeries, potential pregnancy, or any condition that may affect the procedure.


  • Getting Ready for the Exam: The patient will need to remove any jewelry or metal objects that could interfere with the quality of the x-ray images.


  • Taking the X-Ray: The technician carefully positions the patient beside or on the x-ray table to examine the shoulder from multiple angles. The technician ensures the patient is correctly positioned for the best possible image quality. The patient must remain still for a few seconds while the images are taken.
