When is a finger X-ray necessary?
- Fractures: X-rays help determine the fracture's presence, type, and exact location. This is important for choosing a treatment method and estimating recovery time.
- Dislocations and injuries of the joints: The examination allows you to see the displacement of the bones in the joints, which is critical for their proper repair.
- Microcracks in the bones: These may not be visible on a routine examination, but X-rays can reveal them.
- Arthritis: X-rays can show changes in the joints characteristic of different forms of arthritis.
- Osteoporosis: Although osteoporosis is usually diagnosed with special bone density tests, X-rays can reveal changes or fractures already present due to osteoporosis.
- Unexplained pain: If the pain in the fingers does not go away for a long time, an X-ray will help rule out or confirm the presence of hidden problems.
- Finger deformities: Changes in the shape of the fingers can indicate serious joint or bone disease.
Importantly! In some cases, an X-ray of the finger can be a decisive factor in deciding whether surgery is necessary.
Preparation and X-ray of the finger
Preparation for the examination is simple. Removing all jewelry and metal objects is necessary, as metal can interfere with obtaining a clear image. If you have clothing on your hand, it should be easy to remove. In some cases, it may be necessary to wear a hospital gown.
The doctor should be notified if other X-rays or medical procedures have been previously performed.
The procedure goes like this: the patient sits near the X-ray machine. The finger or hand is placed on a special table or stand. The doctor or radiologist leaves the room or stands behind a protective partition and takes an X-ray. The procedure takes only a few seconds. Staying still while taking a shot is important, as movement can result in a blurry image.
After the images, the patient can get dressed and leave the clinic or hospital immediately.
Importantly! Pregnant women should inform their doctor about their pregnancy, as X-rays can be harmful to the fetus.
Diagnostic Value of Finger X-ray
- Injury Detection and Evaluation: X-rays can determine the presence of fractures, cracks, displacements, and other damage to bone tissue. X-rays allow doctors to accurately assess the extent and nature of the injury, which is critical to developing a treatment plan.
- Diagnosis of joint diseases: Changes in the joints characteristic of arthritis, such as narrowing of joint space, bone erosions, and the formation of bone growths, can be visualized on X-rays.
- Detection of degenerative changes: The examination can detect bone hardening, bone integrity, and other signs of degeneration.
- Detection of abnormalities and tumor growth: X-rays can detect cysts, tumors, and other abnormalities in the bones and surrounding tissues.
Importantly! X-rays are important in cases where early symptoms may be nonspecific or absent, and early detection and treatment significantly improve the prognosis.
Contraindications to finger X-ray
- Pregnancy: Ionizing radiation, although in small amounts, can pose a risk to the developing fetus. This is especially true in the early stages of pregnancy when the main organs and systems of the unborn child are formed.
- Recent radiopaque studies: If the patient has recently undergone radiopaque studies, such as a barium enema or angiography, this may temporarily skew the results of subsequent X-rays. The contrast agent can interfere with X-rays.
- Severe condition of the patient: In rare cases, when the patient is in critical condition or suffers from severe illnesses that make their transportation to the X-ray machine impossible or dangerous, the procedure may be postponed or replaced with other diagnostic methods.
Importantly! Every X-ray decision should be based on thoroughly analyzing all factors and possible risks.
