Arthritis is a common and painful condition worldwide, and x-rays are an essential tool for diagnosing and treating it. The pain associated with arthritis is often felt before it can be seen on an x-ray, but more severe cases of arthritis may reveal visible signs of wear and tear on bones, including cartilage loss, cysts, bony growths called spurs, or even fractures in the bones. For example, x-rays are often used to diagnose degenerative joint disease in the knees, hips and spine because these arthritic changes are usually visible on imaging tests. An experienced radiologist will be able to differentiate between normal wear and tear versus those caused by arthritis using an x-ray. To conclude, while not always diagnosable with an x-ray alone, severe or long-term cases of arthritis can almost always be diagnosed with a combination of clinical examination and imaging tests such as x-rays.
