In shoulder-chest trauma, we can preliminarily assess the collarbone and the sternoclavicular joint, but the sternoclavicular joint is always obscured by the spine, mediastinum, and diaphragm. Additionally, a tumor in the chest wall or metastatic tumor can also erode the sternoclavicular joint. Therefore, to isolate the sternoclavicular joint from the above components, sternoclavicular joint imaging must be performed.
Indications:
§ Detect injuries to the sternoclavicular joint such as inflammation or metastasis.
§ Various chest traumas.
Contraindications:
§ No absolute contraindications.
§ Relative contraindications for pregnant women.
