What abnormality can be seen on an xray?

"Radiologic technology makes the diagnosis of disorders such as broken bones or deformities possible. Additionally, soft tissue structures such as the liver, spleen or gallbladder can be visualized and determine if there are presence of gallstones. Also, pneumonia or tuberculosis are visible on a chest xray

One of the first classes that a radiographer takes is anatomy. Understanding anatomical structures and their normal appearance is essential for a radiographer to identify an abnormality if one is present. The interviewer wants to know that you are able to distinguish the difference in a normal and abnormal xray.

"There are so many abnormalities that can be seen on an xray film. Some of the most common are infections of lung, such as pneumonia. When there is bone pain or the appearance of a malformation, an xray may be ordered to see if there are broken bones or deformities of bones or joints, as well."
