Question 1

had bone scan today, showed white spots lower back and hips, why is this? had bc 2005, stress fracture showed on normal xray

Accepted Answer

Decreased uptake: Photopenia or decreased uptake can mean further compression and loss of normal activity, ischemia or decrxeased perfusion, or sometimes result from infection. Clinical symptoms have to be correlated.

Question 2

traces of blood found in urine sample, xray showed some white spots in pelvis, but was not told what it could be?

Accepted Answer

Your job: ask &amp; work: to understand. It is your body; not that of others who primarily focus on their priorities (human nature for all of us). X-Ray=Hi-frequency electromagnetic radiation, i.e. above light frequencies. X-Rays simply show shadows, bone vs. water  (tissue) vs. air. White spots are likely bone (absorb/block X-Ray from reaching/exposing the film). Is blood from urinary bladder or kidneys? Big difference!

Question 3

i have white spots on my stomach and hips, ?

Accepted Answer

? sun spots?: This may be a type of yeast infection of the skin surface called tinea versicolor. You can try an at home approach first...Apply Nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo to scalp and body leave on for five minutes then rinse off, repeat daily until resolved. If the spots persist, consult with a board certified dermatologist.

Question 4

had a x-ray done of my hip and there is dark spots on my hip bone, what are these dark spots?

Accepted Answer

Can't answer: Dark spots doesn't give enough information about the x-ray. Best to get the x-ray report and have your doctor go over it with you.

Question 5

my husband had jaw pain. a panoramic x-ray showed white spots. dentist queried phleboliths. how would this affect him. could it be something else?

Accepted Answer

See oral surgeon or: Orofacial Pain specialist for second opinion. The most common type of jaw pain is a toothache. A phlebolith is a small local, usually rounded, calcification within a vein. A panoramic x-ray is inconclusive test for this condition. I think  finding a proper diagnosis and treatment may be the answer to your worries. Do not delay.

Question 6

my doctor has missed things on past xrays that a second opinion found; i see a lot of white spots on my lateral chest xray-are they normal or not?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide an opinion without examining you and your imaging studies. In addition to the examination by your doctor, the radiologist should have provided a written opinion of the x-ray findings.
Wish you good health!

Question 7

have history of pe took chest xray last week saw white spots on lung now having chest pains across my upper chest?

Accepted Answer

You saw?: Or radiologist saw!
there are normal, shadows on x-rays, and need expert opinion to determine.

Question 8

strep test was negative but lung x-ray showed bronchitis. is that what's causing my throat to be sore with white spots? dr prescribed augmentin

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If the spots were there before the augmentin, then very likely. If they appeared after starting the antibiotic, it may be oral thrush. If you are prone to vaginal yeast infections after taking antibiotics, then thrush is even more likely. If your throat does not get better by the time you finish the augmentin, I would recommend you go back to see your Dr.

Question 9

i have had pain in my hip for 3 years. x-ray showed bright spot. what is it?

Accepted Answer

More info: Your diagnosis could be a couple things.  If you had a bright spot on the xray it could represent a bone infarct, an osteoid osteoma which is typically painful at night and alleviated with Aspirin or ibuprofen, an old area of infection (sequestrum) or something more concerning like a metastatic lesion (less likely if dealing with it for three years and pretty young).  Would have it looked at.  ?Ct.

Question 10

what are the white spots inside my babys mouth?

Accepted Answer

Thrush: Those white spots in your baby's mouth can be thrush. This is an infection with a fungus called candida that is common in babies. It causes white plaques on the tongue and mouth that can occasionally bleed. An oral anti-fungal medicine can help eliminate the infection, especially if it makes it uncomfortable for your baby to feed.
