A member asked:
X-ray on 1st mp joint of big toe said rheumatoid arthritis bc of pain. if it were bone cancer would it be picked up on x-ray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
X-ray findings: of rheumatoid or other arthritis generally are easily distinguishable from bone cancer. Bone cancers can sometimes be picked up on x-rays if large enough, but MRI is much more sensitive at detection.
