Where and why do you use xrays?
You get an xray taken at a hosbital and it is used to see if you have a fractured or broken bone

areas which are less dense and have allowed more xrays to pass through. eg Black = air, softer tissues. White= bone/ calcification

Skeleton picture of the scaphoid bone in wrist can you display an xray of the scaphoid bone?
I can't display images. However, the scaphoid bone is a boat-shaped bone located on the thumb side of the wrist. It is commonly injured in falls, leading to pain and tenderness in the wrist. X-rays are typically used to diagnose scaphoid fractures.
Do bones have a filled cavity in them?
Most bones consist of two types of bone: the cortical bone is the hard smooth bone on the outside and the cancellous bone is on the inside. The cancellous bone is spongey and fibrous and fills the medulla cavity of the bone. So yes, they do have a filled cavity, but it's most evident in long bones like the femur or humerus.
What is a peripherally sclerotic centrally hypo dense bone cyst at the left femoral neck region?
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).
