What X-Ray Evaluates
Digital X-ray is used to evaluate fractures and dislocations, spinal alignment and curvature, disc space narrowing, degenerative changes, joint space narrowing, and the presence of hardware from prior surgeries. While X-ray is excellent for bone evaluation, soft tissue injuries (disc herniations, ligament tears, muscle damage) require MRI or ultrasound for visualization.
