Absolutely positively not. Lice will not show on an x-ray.
Hi there. No, head lice will not show up on an X ray. Lice cement their eggs firmly close to scalp. The clearest evidence of head lice infestation is to find living, moving lice. This can be done by combing wet hair with a fine toothed comb. Nits found more than one fourth of an inch away from scalp either have hatched or are unlikely to. Nits, nymphs and adult louse can be found on the body, eyelashes or eyebrows. Hope this helps. Take care.
