A member asked:
Can widening of blood vessels be seen or noticed on an xray of the back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Usually not in a young person. However, the older one gets, more calcium buildup along the arteries can sometimes be seen in x-rays which can hint that the arteries may be "widening". This would need to be confirmed with an ultrasound, ct scan, or MRI depending on the situation.
