Open your shoulder X-ray DICOM files in the browser to inspect bone structure, alignment, and the clavicle, AC joint, glenohumeral joint, and humeral head — then request AI support based on rendered images to explain the findings. X-rays show bone clearly but cannot show the rotator cuff or labrum (that needs MRI). X-rays are the first read for fracture, dislocation, and arthritis. Your raw files stay on your device for viewing.
Upload Your Shoulder X-rayA shoulder X-ray reveals bone and alignment in seconds — the clavicle, the AC and glenohumeral joints, and the humeral head. It cannot show the rotator cuff or labrum, but it is the first read for fracture, dislocation, and arthritis.
Drop your X-ray DICOM files or ZIP archive. Supports AP, lateral, oblique, and weight-bearing views.
Automatically renders bone and soft tissue windows. Adjust brightness and contrast, zoom, pan, and measure distances in millimeters.
4 AI models independently assess fractures, arthritis, alignment, and bone density. Claude synthesizes a unified report with findings and confidence levels.
AI support can explain X-ray report language and rendered image context, but it is not a licensed radiology second opinion. Use it to prepare better questions for your clinician, especially when a shoulder X-ray report mentions a fracture, dislocation, or arthritis.

Absolutely. Your DICOM files are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Raw imaging data never leaves your device. Only rendered analysis images are sent to AI models for interpretation.
AP and axillary lateral views provide the most diagnostic information for glenohumeral alignment and dislocation assessment. Scapular Y views help evaluate the subacromial space. Multiple views of the same shoulder improve diagnostic accuracy.
Our AI consortium analyzes cortical continuity, trabecular patterns, and alignment to identify fractures and avulsion fragments. The multi-model approach cross-references findings to reduce false negatives. Always confirm with a radiologist for clinical decision-making.
No. A shoulder X-ray cannot show the rotator cuff or labrum. X-rays show bone and joint space but cannot visualize soft tissue structures like tendons or the labrum. For suspected rotator cuff or labrum injury, an MRI is required. Our free shoulder MRI viewer handles those files.
On Analyze My Shoulder, the viewer helps you review shoulder MRI, X-ray, and CT images for common report terms before discussing care with a clinician.
Review rotator cuff tears, shoulder labral tears, SLAP and Bankart patterns, impingement, clavicle fracture, AC joint separation, dislocation patterns, arthritis, and frozen shoulder.
Shoulder reports often mix tendon, labrum, cartilage, fracture, and bony alignment language. These guides help separate the main structures and match CT, X-ray, or MRI findings to the right next page.
Use the viewer and AI output as informational support. MRI can help with labrum and impingement questions, X-ray can help screen fracture or alignment, and CT can clarify bone detail, but diagnosis and treatment decisions need clinician review.
If a report mentions SLAP tear, Bankart lesion, dislocation, glenoid bone loss, or rotator cuff injury, compare the images with symptoms and exam findings. A clinician may choose radiographs, MRI, MR arthrography, CT, or CT arthrography based on the question.
