If you are asking if we use Radiation to exam a person's bones to determine if they are broken then the answer is yes.

An x-ray utilizes Roetgen rays in order to provide a diagnostic image that a Radiologist (an x-ray doctor) can use to tell if a bone has been broken. That however is only one small fraction of the use's for diagnostic imaging. There are a wide variety of different illnesses and disease's that can be detected through the use of x-ray's as well as the many modalities which we employ. Hope that helps.
