It uses radiation to produce images of bones, and is used most commonly to look for fractures or signs of joint problems such as arthritis. Conventional X-rays may also sometimes reveal signs of certain types of cancer; however, other imaging methods are usually more effective in detecting cancer at its earlier and more treatable stages. Your physician may order an X-ray at RMI if a fracture or other problem in your bones or joints is suspected. As the fastest and easiest imaging method, an X-ray may also be used for an initial evaluation for other possible conditions, to help your physician decide whether a more detailed examination using other techniques is warranted. |
