Radiographs are images produced using a type of energy called X-rays. They allow healthcare professionals to see inside the body without making any incisions. Radiographs are commonly used to examine bones, teeth, and certain organs, helping to diagnose conditions like fractures, infections, or tumors. The process of taking a radiograph involves placing a patient between an X-ray machine and a special film or digital sensor. When the X-rays pass through the body, they create an image that shows varying densities of tissues. This helps doctors assess the health of the patient and determine appropriate treatment options.
