X-Ray

X-rays are a type of high-energy electromagnetic radiation that can penetrate many solid substances, including the human body.
This property makes them invaluable for medical imaging.

How X-rays Work

•     Radiation: X-ray machines produce a beam of radiation that passes through the body.
•     Absorption: Different tissues absorb X-rays to varying degrees. Dense materials like bone absorb most of the radiation, while softer tissues like muscle and fat allow more radiation to pass through.
•     Image Creation: The X-ray detector captures the radiation that passes through the body, creating an image. Bones appear white, while soft tissues show up as shades of gray.
