A x-ray may be used to diagnose cardiac and skeletal abnormalities.

• X-ray is helpful in screening/detecting the following cardiac abnormalities: ^[1][2][3]
  1. [[[Coarctation of aorta]]
  2. Ventricular septal defect
  3. Bicuspid aortic valve
  4. Aortic dissection
  5. Aortal dilation
  6. Aortic aneurysm
  7. Ischemic heart disease
  8. Atherosclerosis
  9. Elongated transverse aortic arch
  10. Pulmonary venous anomalies
  11. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
  12. Infective endocarditis
• X-ray is helpful in screening/detecting the following skeletal abnormalities: “Turner Syndrome – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf”.
  1. Genu valgum
  2. Cubitus valgus deformity
  3. Congenital hip dysplasia
  4. Short 4th metacarpal
  5. Scoliosis
  6. Kyphosis

Hypoyphosis

Scoliosis

Madelung deformity

The features that are evident here are:

• Widening between the distal radius and ulna
• Ulna is relatively longer compared to the radius
• Dorsal and radial bowing of the radius
• Dorsal subluxation of the distal ulna and positive ulnar variance

Shortened Metacarpals
