An X-ray film of a joint is commonly referred to as a joint X-ray or arthrogram. This imaging technique is used to visualize the structures of the joint, including bones, cartilage, and soft tissues, to help diagnose conditions such as fractures, Arthritis, or joint inflammation. The term "arthrography" may also be used when a contrast dye is injected to enhance the imaging of the joint.
