OR
There are no x-ray findings associated with [disease name]. However, an x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
X Ray
- An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of cretinism. X ray of the knee may be used in evaluating the severity of cretinism.
- X ray of the knee may show a wide sagittal suture which is an indicator of delayed bone maturation. Delayed bone maturation has been associated with anticipating of intellectual disability in patients with cretinism.[1]
