ABSTRACT
Although sonography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are common tools in radiology, conventional X-rays still have a place in orthopaedic diagnostic investigation. The advantages of radiographic imaging are high local resolution concerning bone, economy of time besides relatively low costs and worldwide experience. The conventional X-ray is indispensable for planning surgical procedures and clinical monitoring. For several pathological processes an X-ray is sufficient for diagnosis and therapy (i.e. degeneration, fracture). Early changes of the bone (i.e. osteonecrosis) cannot be detected by X-ray. CT and MRI have closed the diagnostic gap. Indications for conventional tomography are rare.
