X-rays are waves of electromagnetic radiation that are absorbed differently by different tissues. Bones absorb them well because they are dense. A skeletal X-ray specifically looks at your skeletonâwhich is made up of all the bones in your body.
Imaging tests can allow your doctor to see the structures inside your foot noninvasively. The most common imaging tests to diagnose foot problems are: X-ray (radiography). A standard X-ray is a simple test in which an X-ray beam (a form of electromagnetic radiation) is passed through the foot to create a two-dimensional picture of the bones that form the joint. A doctor can use X-rays to view: 1  joint space. Narrowing of the space between the bones, which are normally covered by cartilage, can be a sign of arthritis and its severity. 2  bone spurs. Bony overgrowths at the joint are a sign of osteoarthritis. 3  fractures.
