X-rays are a versatile tool used by healthcare providers to help identify and diagnose many conditions.  If you experience a sprain, impact, or other injury and suspect you might have a fracture, you may be on the fence about seeing your healthcare provider, but there are a few easy ways you can tell if your rolled ankle needs more than rest and ice. X-rays can be used to confirm or detect several conditions, including injuries, bronchitis, and digestive issues. You may receive an x-ray if your provider suspects: - Fracture - Bone deformity - Healing bone - Misplacement of a medical device - Pneumonia or bronchitis - Ingestion of a foreign object - Kidney stones
