Overview
X-ray may be performed in cases of hypogonadism only on bones to assess the bone age and the skeletal growth. A pelvic x-ray may be also needed to assess the internal genitalia and detect any masses.
X ray
- X ray may be performed in patients with hypogonadism to assess the bone age. It is usually done in the prepubertal patients with delayed puberty.[1]
- X ray can provide a good assessment of the skeletal maturation and growth.
- Pelvic X ray also may be performed to assess the internal genitalia. It is performed in cases any masses have been detected in the physical examination.
- It may show testicular or ovarian masses.
