A. No! The purpose of the Xray is to make certain that you do not have any underlying arthritis in your knee. Also a loose bone chip loose body may mimic a meniscal tear. The Xray give your doctor information about the boney anatomy of a joint, whereas the MRI gives more information about the soft tissues (cartilage, ligaments) of the knee.
