Educational Resources
What Does an X-Ray Show?
X-rays are best for evaluating bones, joints, and the chest. They can detect fractures, dislocations, pneumonia, pleural effusion, arthritis changes, and spinal alignment issues. X-rays use ionizing radiation at low doses for brief diagnostic purposes.
Learn MoreWhen Might You Need Advanced Imaging Instead?
If your symptoms suggest soft tissue injury, nerve compression, or a condition not visible on X-ray, the provider may recommend MRI or CT instead. X-ray is typically the first-line study for bone pain, trauma, and chest symptoms.
