Shoulder X-ray (single view, both shoulders)

This is the briefest shoulder X-ray there is — a single projection of the shoulder, here recorded for both sides. One view answers a narrow question, such as whether a dislocated shoulder is back in place or whether hardware sits where it should, rather than surveying the joint from every angle. It takes a few minutes and needs no preparation.
