Examples of radiograph in the following topics:

  • Pneumonia

    • A chest radiograph is frequently used in diagnosis .
    • If a person is sufficiently sick to require hospitalization, a chest radiograph is recommended.
    • However, radiographic findings may be variable, especially in other types of pneumonia.
    • Radiographs of viral pneumonia cases may appear normal, hyper-inflated, have bilateral patchy areas, or appear similar to bacterial pneumonia with lobar consolidation.
  • X-Ray Imaging and CT Scans

    • X-ray radiographs are produced by projecting a beam of X-rays toward an object, in medical cases, a part of the human body.
  • Dental Caries

    • These caries, sometimes referred to as "hidden caries", will still be visible on x-ray radiographs, but visual examination of the tooth would show the enamel intact or minimally perforated.
    • (B) The radiograph reveals an extensive region of demineralization within the dentin (arrows).
  • Renal Calculi

    • The diagnosis of kidney stones is made on the basis of information obtained from the history, physical examination, urinalysis, and radiographic studies.
  • Plantar Fasciitis

    • The doctor may decide to use imaging studies like radiographs (X-rays), diagnostic ultrasound, and MRI.
  • Pylorospasm and Pyloric Stenosis

    • Diagnosis is via a careful history and physical examination, often supplemented by radiographic studies.
  • Respiratory Distress Syndrome

    • It is characterized by bilateral infiltrates on chest radiograph sparing costophrenic angles and pulmonary artery wedge pressure < 18 mmHg (obtained by pulmonary artery catheterization).
  • Bone Repair

    • This figure depicts a radiograph of a child's healing supracondylar humeral fracture that has been treated with closed reduction and pinning.
  • Lung Cancer

    • Lung cancer may be seen on chest radiograph and computed tomography (CT scan).
  • The Alkaline Earth Metals

    • For example "barium meals" are used in radiographic imaging, while strontium compounds are employed in some toothpastes.
