Are X-Rays Only Used for Diagnosing Broken Bones?
Like many people, you’re probably familiar with the use of X-rays to confirm or rule out a fracture. However, these important imaging studies can be used for several other purposes as well. For instance, a VitalMed provider may order X-rays to evaluate a suspected:
- Respiratory illness, such as pneumonia
- Bone condition, such as arthritis or osteoporosis
- Joint dislocation
- Small, accidentally swallowed object, such as a coin, key or marble
- Foreign object embedded in the skin, such as a wood, metal or glass splinter
- Digestive issue
- Kidney stone
