CT of the shoulder joint is a diagnostic method that allows highly accurate assessment of the bony structures, joint surfaces, ligaments, and surrounding tissues. Thanks to layer-by-layer imaging, CT can reveal abnormalities that may remain undetected on standard X-rays.

Why Is CT of the Shoulder Joint Important?
The shoulder joint has a complex structure, provides a wide range of motion, and plays a crucial role in daily activities. Because of this, it is particularly prone to injuries, overuse, and degenerative changes. Timely diagnosis helps prevent complications and allows the physician to choose the most appropriate treatment strategy.

What Can Be Detected with CT of the Shoulder Joint?

• Bone condition — fractures, cracks, developmental abnormalities, and destructive processes
• Configuration of the glenoid cavity and humeral head — assessment of displacement and joint instability
• Ligament and tendon injuries — degenerative changes and tears
• Inflammatory processes and arthritis
• Fluid accumulation in the joint capsule
• Signs of tumors or metastatic lesions
