A member asked:
Will the following imaging study show scapular bursitis: xray shoulder rt 3 views complete - axillary, ap, and true ap views?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Plain xrays will not show soft tissue problems like bursitis. Usually a physical exam is all that's needed to make the diagnosis. Occasionally MRI is needed.
