A member asked:
Can rib ap view x-ray detect all forms of non-malignant bone tumors? what about malignant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Do you have any symptoms? Why would have a chest x-ray, if there are no health issues? To address your question directly, chest x-ray is not 100% diagnostic of tumors, benign or malignant.
