NCCT Shoulder | Positioning, FOV, Procedure & Filming | By Anis Qureshi

In this video, explains the Non-Contrast CT (NCCT) Shoulder procedure in detail — from correct patient positioning to optimal filming for diagnosis.


📌 Step-by-Step Procedure:

1️⃣ Patient Preparation:

Remove metallic objects (necklaces, clothing with zippers/buttons) from scan area.

Explain the procedure and stress the need to remain still.


2️⃣ Positioning:

Head-first supine on CT table.

Arm of interest positioned by the side (neutral) or slightly externally rotated if tolerated.

Shoulder centered in gantry isocenter.

Immobilization pads can be used to minimize motion.


3️⃣ FOV (Field of View):

Cover from above the acromioclavicular joint down to the proximal third of the humerus.

Ensure inclusion of scapula, clavicle (lateral), and glenoid.


4️⃣ Scan Parameters:

kVp: 120 (typical)

mAs: Adjust as per patient size

Slice thickness: 0.5–1 mm for high-resolution detail


5️⃣ Scanning:

Perform NCCT scan without contrast.

Thin slices for multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) and 3D volume rendering.


🎥 Filming & Reconstructions:

Axial Images: Assess glenoid, humeral head, and scapular fractures.

Coronal MPR: Evaluate rotator cuff area, glenoid fossa, and joint space.

Sagittal MPR: Useful for labrum assessment and bone continuity.

3D Volume Rendering: For fracture mapping, surgical planning, and patient education.

Bone Window: For fracture lines, bony lesions.

Soft Tissue Window: For muscles, tendons, and soft tissue swelling.


🔍 Diagnoses Possible with NCCT Shoulder:

Fractures of humeral head, glenoid, clavicle, scapula

Shoulder dislocation

Degenerative changes

Bone tumors/lesions

Post-operative implant evaluation


🎯 Who Should Watch:
Perfect for Radiology students, X-ray/CT Technicians, Orthopedic imaging trainees, JKSSB aspirants, and practicing Radiographers.
