Can an X-Ray show early signs of Avascular Necrosis?

I went to a Chiropractor for neck and back pain and when he showed me my X-Ray he poninted out these faint little curvy lines in my hip and shoulder bones. He said he wanted to get a radiologist to look at it because people with Lupus sometimes get a problem with their bones. He wouldn't elaborate so I got online and now I'm woried that it could be AVN.

I've got Fibromyalgia and Discoid Lupus and I took 15 mg of hydrocotizone daily for about 3 months and then 5 mg for about another 9 mos for adrenal fatigue.

I know early stage AVN isn't usually spotted with X-Ray, but is it possible?

avascular necrosis can be seen in head of femur mostly,early radiological signs are not much obvious ,mri and ct.scan are better imaging for early detection,a radio isotope scam also is helpful
