What it is
A complete shoulder X-ray takes at least two pictures of the shoulder from different angles to show the bones of the joint. It is ordered for shoulder pain, injury, suspected dislocation or arthritis, and is often done before any shoulder MRI.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers taking the X-ray of one shoulder. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.
