Can A Clogged Vessels Be Detected On An X-ray?
I took a really bad fall and x ray indicated mild compression fracture L1 and the report noted something on the kidney they now want to do an ultrasound to look at the kidney and then noted vessels were clogged on an x ray , can they determine clogged vessels on an x ray? I am blessed to be so healthy no health issues before this fall is it possible all of this due to the fall?

Hello thanks for your question.
plain X Ray cannot detect the clogged vessels,however x ray taken after injecting dye can detect clogged vessel and it also depends upon the part x rayed.
Hope this answers your question.
