Uptake is a higher than baseline accumulation of radiopharmaceuticals in an nuclear medicine examination. The right acromioclavicular is the joint between the acromion of the scapula, and the lateral margin of the clavicle.
The area between the clavicle (collarbone) and scapula (shoulder blade) is known as the supraclavicular fossa.
The acromioclavicular joint is a plane, or gliding, joint.
The clavicle articulates with the scapula at the acromion process, forming the acromioclavicular joint.
Acromioclavicular joint capsular hypertrophy is a condition characterized by thickening and tightening of the joint capsule that surrounds the acromioclavicular joint. This can lead to pain, limited range of motion, and decreased shoulder function. Treatment may include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in severe cases, surgery to address the underlying issue.
The acromioclavicular ligament and the coracoclavicular ligament anchor the clavicle to other structures in the shoulder region.

The arcomial end of the clavicle attaches to the scapula.
Acromioclavicular (joint/ligament) sprain
The acromion process of the scapula articulates with the lateral end of the clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint.
Hypertrophic change of the AC joint is overgrowth in the acromioclavicular joint, often due to Arthritis.
The distal aspect of the right clavicle refers to the end of the clavicle closest to the shoulder joint. It articulates with the acromion process of the scapula to form the acromioclavicular joint.
The joint that connects the shoulder blade (scapula) and the collarbone (clavicle) is called the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. It is a gliding joint that allows for movement between the acromion process of the scapula and the distal end of the clavicle.
