Can knee x-ray diagnose cancer tumor in kids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could suggest it: Most would never rely on a single or multiple x-rays to make or treat such a diagnosis, There are recognisable features that can be quite specific for certain types of bone cancer. There are also some x-ray findings that would suggest an abnormal finding is not cancer.Once seen, the next step is to get a biopsy of the material for confirmation.
