X-ray for endo?

My gynaecologist has requested a scan for me as I may have new endo growth or ovarian cysts.

The referral has come through but it’s an X-ray.

Before I’ve only ever had ultrasound scans and an MRI.

Would an X-ray pick up endo/cysts??

Thanks!

Unfortunately not - it needs to be expert ultrasound or MRI.
