X - Ray Right Sternoclavicular Joint Obl. View near me in New Delhi

An X-ray of the sternoclavicular joint is a safe and painless test to visualise the area at the base of the neck where the collar bone joins the breastbone and the first rib. It also helps to visualise the soft tissues (skin and muscles) surrounding it. The image is recorded on a special x ray film. The X-ray image is black and white. Dense structures such as the bones, appear white and softer body tissues, such as the skin and muscles appear darker. The actual exposure time to radiation is usually less than a second, although the overall test may take 15-20 minutes.
