A member asked:
Upper back pain have had thoracic x-ray. would aortic aneurysm show if present on pic. thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May or maynot: Depending on the x-ray and the amount of radiation etc, it may or may no show on a regular x-ray. If concerned, let your dr. Know and there are more definitive tests to assess for aneurysms than a routine x-ray of the thoracic back area.
