Overview
X ray is not often required in patients with bursitis. X ray may be used as a diagnostic measure to support a clinical diagnosis of bursitis. Joint x ray is generally reserved for patients with history of significant trauma. A plain x ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of fracture or dislocation.[1][2][3]

X ray is not often required in patients with bursitis. Joint x ray is generally reserved for patients with history of significant trauma. A plain x ray may be helpful to exclude fracture or dislocation. On plain x ray, chronic or recurrent bursitis may be characterized by the presence of gout crystals or calcification.[1][2][3]
