SHOULDER CT
A shoulder CT scan uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the shoulder’s bony structures, particularly the proximal humerus and glenoid. It excels in visualizing complex fractures, bone alignment, and three-dimensional bony morphology, making it ideal for preoperative planning or assessing trauma. Unlike MRI, CT provides superior bone detail but less soft tissue contrast. It is often used when radiographs are inconclusive or when surgical intervention is considered.
