X-ray radiography
X-ray radiography is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create images of the inside of the body. It helps doctors diagnose and monitor various conditions by capturing images of bones, organs, and tissues. The process involves directing a controlled amount of X-ray radiation through the body, which is then recorded on a film or digital detector.
The resulting images, known as X-rays, show different densities in the body. Dense structures like bones appear white, while softer tissues appear in shades of gray. This contrast allows healthcare professionals to identify fractures, infections, and other abnormalities effectively.
