Fracture Identification in Radiology

Fracture identification in radiology involves examining medical images, like X-rays, to detect breaks or cracks in bones. Radiologists look for irregularities, misalignments, or disruptions in the bone’s normal structure. They compare the images to typical bone anatomy and may use multiple angles to confirm the presence of a fracture. Accurate identification helps determine the severity, location, and type of fracture, which guides appropriate treatment. This process is essential for ensuring proper healing and avoiding complications.
