Upper limb x-ray is a plain radiographic study which helps in the visualization of bone integrity, alignment, joint relationships, and indirect soft-tissues in the upper limbs area. These areas are generally affected by traumas and injuries. Dysfunctions in the upper limbs can be easily detected using x-ray. Upper limbs x-ray reporting consists of remote interpretation and reporting of upper limbs x-ray scans by subspecialty radiologists.
Shoulders:
In this region, upper limbs x-ray imaging helps in the visualization of clavicle, scapula, proximal humerus, glenohumeral joint, and acromioclavicular joint. These regions are prone to complications like discontinuity, malalignment, abnormal bone density, cortical irregularity, abnormal contours, and calcific deposits.
Arm:
The arm is an important organ responsible for movement; these structures can be affected by cortical break, bowing, angulation, rotational abnormality, and focal lucency or sclerosis. Upper limb x-rays are effective in detecting long-bone integrity, deformity, axis deviation, internal bone architecture, and focal bone changes in the arms.
Elbow Region:
This region is under frequent movement, which can cause issues like articular incongruity, joint displacement, cortical irregularity, abnormal fat pad visibility, osteophyte formation, and joint space alteration. In the elbows, upper limbs x-ray can visualize joint alignment, cortical disruption detection, indirect intra-articular signs, and degenerative bone changes.

When the patient reports to the medical unit, they are attended by a clinician.
The clinicians assess the patient’s condition and record the relevant medical data.
Based on the patient’s requirement, a radiological examination is prescribed (in this case, the selected modality is upper limbs x-ray)
The x-ray is performed on-site by a radiological technician, by following the standardized protocols.*
The images obtained after the examination are sent to Statim Healthcare along with the patient’s clinical data.
At Statim, a radiologist is appointed to the case, based on the type of imaging performed.
The radiologist carefully analyses the images for abnormalities, differentiating them from artifacts.
By considering the patient’s clinical presentation, an accurate diagnosis is determined.
These results are presented in a report, which is electronically signed by the radiologist.
The reports are sent to the healthcare institution via the hospital PACS/RIS or a secure email delivery system.
