“Can an x-ray show a tumor?”
I am a 25 year old male. I wonder if an x-ray can show a tumor?

Some X-rays can show a mass. CT and MRI are usually more definitive.
Xray can see a tumor in bones...but cannot see soft tissue tumors adequately...CT SCAN & MRI are better to see soft tissue tumors..
The plain X-ray can show some bone tumors, but showing soft tissue tumors often needs more sophisticated X-ray tools such as CT scan to make more accurate diagnosis. I hope that this will answer your question. Thank you.
