An X-ray Right Shoulder (Axillary View) is a specialized imaging angle used to capture a top-down view of the shoulder joint, particularly focusing on the relationship between the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) and the glenoid (part of the scapula/shoulder blade).

This view is especially useful for:
• Detecting dislocations, especially anterior or posterior shoulder dislocations
• Assessing joint alignment
• Evaluating shoulder fractures, especially involving the humeral head or glenoid
• Diagnosing rotator cuff injuries or other joint abnormalities

    Test Preparation

    There is no special preparation required, but here’s what you should know:

     Before the Test:
    • Clothing: You’ll be asked to wear a hospital gown. Remove all clothing and undergarments covering the shoulder area.
    • Jewelry/Metal: Remove necklaces, earrings, or any metal objects near the neck, shoulder, or chest.
    • Pregnancy: Always inform the technician if you are pregnant or may be pregnant, so they can take necessary precautions.
    • Injury or Pain: Let the technician know if you’re experiencing severe shoulder pain, as positioning might need to be adjusted.

     During the Test:
    • You’ll either be seated or lying down, with your arm gently lifted (usually 90°) away from the body if possible.
    • The X-ray beam is directed through the armpit (axilla) to capture the joint from top to bottom.
    • Staying still is crucial for a clear image. If movement is painful, let the technician know so they can adjust your position safely.
