Overview
X-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of sickle cell disease like [pneumonia]], acute chest syndrome and osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
X Ray
There are no x-ray findings associated with sickle cell disease. However, an x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of sickle cell disease, which include:[1][2][3][4]
- Pneumonia
- Acute chest syndrome
- Osteonecrosis of the femoral head
- Periarticular osteopenia
- Dactylitis (hand-foot syndrome)
- Osteoarticular involvement of bones
