Bone cysts cause fractures and damage to bone tissue
X-ray imaging is commonly used to detect bone diseases such as fractures, tumors, and osteoporosis. It can provide detailed images of the bones and show any abnormalities present. Additionally, bone scans using a radioactive tracer can also be used to detect bone diseases by highlighting areas of increased or decreased bone activity.
