NAD but I believe the only X-ray that can show any form of infection is a chest X-ray. Typically a chest extra captures your lungs when clear vs if you have fluid in your lungs or pneumonia you will see what are called infiltrates or darker areas on film in patterns suggesting infection. They can also pick up granulomas which are from tuberculosis lung infections.
Otherwise standard x-rays can’t show any other type of infection to my knowledge.
