Overview
A x-ray may be used to diagnose cardiac and skeletal abnormalities.
X Ray
- X-ray is helpful in screening/detecting the following cardiac abnormalities: [1][2][3]
- Coarctation of aorta
- Ventricular septal defect
- Bicuspid aortic valve
- Aortic dissection
- Aortal dilation
- Aortic aneurysm
- Ischemic heart disease
- Atherosclerosis
- Elongated transverse aortic arch
- Pulmonary venous anomalies
- Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
- Infective endocarditis
- X-ray is helpful in screening/detecting the following skeletal abnormalities: "Turner Syndrome - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf".
- Genu valgum
- Cubitus valgus deformity
- Congenital hip dysplasia
- Short 4th metacarpal
- Scoliosis
- Kyphosis
Images
Hypoyphosis
Scoliosis
Madelung deformity
The features that are evident here are:
- Widening between the distal radius and ulna
- Ulna is relatively longer compared to the radius
- Dorsal and radial bowing of the radius
- Dorsal subluxation of the distal ulna and positive ulnar variance
Shortened Metacarpals
