X-ray technology is a medical imaging technique that uses high-energy radiation to create images of the inside of the body. It works by passing X-rays through the body, which are absorbed differently by various tissues. Dense materials, like bones, appear white on the X-ray film, while softer tissues, such as muscles and organs, appear in shades of gray. This technology is commonly used to diagnose fractures, infections, and tumors. X-ray machines are also utilized in other fields, such as security screening at airports and inspecting industrial components, highlighting their versatility beyond medical applications.
