radiograph

A radiograph, commonly known as an X-ray, is a medical imaging technique that uses controlled radiation to capture images of the inside of the body. It helps doctors see bones, tissues, and organs, allowing for diagnosis and assessment of health conditions. The process involves placing part of the body between an X-ray machine and a detector; the machine sends invisible radiation that passes through the body and creates a detailed image on the detector. Radiographs are quick, non-invasive, and vital tools for identifying fractures, infections, tumors, and other medical issues.
