X rays show up the damage that arthritis does to bone and will show the proximity of one bone to another which indicates damage or wear to cartilage.
Breaking a bone can increase your risk of developing arthritis in the affected area due to changes in joint mechanics and the potential for damage to cartilage during the injury. However, not everyone who breaks a bone will develop arthritis. It is best to follow up with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
Black spots on a bone scan may indicate areas of increased bone activity or hot spots, which can be caused by conditions such as fractures, infection, inflammation, or bone tumors. These areas typically show up as dark areas on the scan due to higher uptake of the radioactive tracer used in the scan.
An old fracture may not show up on a bone scan if it has completely healed with no active inflammation or increased metabolic activity present at the site. The presence of old breaks on a bone scan largely depends on the healing process and the resolution of any previous damage to the bone.
bone marrow is in the center of the bone shaft
The bone made up of the ilium, ischium, and pubis is the hip bone, also known as the os coxae or innominate bone. It is a large, flat bone that forms part of the pelvis.
yes, i have a tumor in my femur and that's how they found it.
If they are calcified, such as an aorta that has plaque build up. Abdominal aortic aneurysms can sometimes be seen on xray in this situation. However, in general, arteries do not show up on xray.
does glass show up on xray
marginal osteophytes are a result and a part of arthritis. they are the build up of bone around the area in joints where the bone has started to touch bone in joints.
It all depends on how serious the problem turns out to be. as the cartilage wears the bones of the joints come closer together or in time spurs may form which are a build up of bone where bone is wearing onto bone. that which shows up on xrays is the result of the damage done by arthritis. For example I have Rheumatoid arthritis and it took about 3 years from the time that I did not have a problem with my right elbow to the time I had to have it totally replaced. However I Have many other parts that still seem to be working fine.
not unless your bones are moved forward because of it
Bone spirs, arthritis, fluid build up
On certain views, bursitis is well shown on x-rays.
The pain from arthritis does nothing to your bones. However arthritis will bring about a situation where a bone becomes worn where it should not be, and will cause bone buildup where there should not be any bone, which in turn will cause more pain.
It will not show on any drug tests.

This essentially is a cyst inside of the neck of the hip bone. The peripheral sclerotic area is the outside of this "cyst" and has a lot of calcium in it... thus it shows up as a very white area on xray, since it is more dense (because of the calcium). Hypo-dense just means there isn't much calcium in the middle of this bone "cyst" so it shows up on the xray as a dark area (hypo= less).
