If it's appeared following an injury, then maybe and it will take four to eight weeks to heal. Whether it's broken or not, there is no treatment for it unless the injury is more serious, and all you can do is rest and take painkillers. In the UK, you wouldn't normally even be x-rayed for it as the x-ray won't alter the treatment for the injury but does add an unnecessary risk of damaging your gonads. Note that doctors will still often routinely refer this kind of injury for an x-ray/CT scan, but radiographers/radiologists have the final decision and will normally refuse to do so.
If not then it may be an abscess or some other cause which may require treatment or even surgery. In these cases a CT scan may well be justified.
