The Clavicle X-Ray is a diagnostic imaging test used to assess the collarbone (clavicle) and surrounding shoulder structures. It provides clear images to help investigate pain, swelling, deformity, or injury following trauma or a fall. This scan is particularly helpful for identifying fractures, dislocations, alignment issues, or bone abnormalities affecting the clavicle. It supports prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. Suitable for individuals with shoulder or collarbone pain, suspected fracture, visible deformity, or injury-related symptoms.
