Bone X-Ray

What is a Bone X-ray?

Bone x-ray is performed to get images of any bone in any part of the body. This determines the problems in a bone at a very basic level making it the fastest way of diagnosing the issue.

Why have I been asked to get a Bone x-ray done?

Bone  x-ray is performed to:

  • Determine the reason for any bone pains.

  • Check up for any fractures in a bone.

  • Determine any bone dislocation or injury.

  • Guide orthopedic surgery such as spine repair/fusion, joint replacement and fracture reductions.

  • Assess any bone cancer.

  • Detect abnormal bone growths, infection, arthritis.

  • Detecting unknown objects in soft tissues around or in bones.

How can I prepare for the scan?

  • Women should tell their doctors if there is any chance they may be pregnant because x-ray radiation can harm the baby. If in doubt, make sure to take a pregnancy test before performing the scan. If positive, consult your doctor.

  • You are encouraged to drink only clear liquids a day before your scan and avoid milk products.

  • Wear comfortable clothing and avoid jewellery or any other metal on the body.

  • Inform if you have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted for pregnancy prevention.

How is the Bone x-ray done?

  • You  will be asked to lie/sit on a padded table or stand depending on the bones to be assessed.

  • It’s important that you  stay very still.  You may be asked to hold your  breath for a few seconds during the time in which the image is obtained.

  • Multiple images from different angles may be required.
