Good morning

My xray showed minimal arthritis. The MRI told a different story. Arthritis in all compartments. When the PA told me I had quite a bit, I kind of started to argue that my xray said I had minimal arthritis, she chuckled. I liked my xray's opinion much better than the MRI!

Your share is interesting. I had a similar experience.
X rays are different from MRI (MRI looks at soft tissue, xray-structure).
I sometimes wonder if AI is a factor here.

I was freaked out when I saw "moderate arthritis" in some areas and got a similar response.

It would be nice to hear from someone why this phenomenon occurs. Are the evaluations to look for something that is otherwise normal? (I don't think arthritis is a normal at any age!)
