Image for Radiography

Radiography

Radiography is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create pictures of the interior of the body. It helps doctors diagnose diseases, injuries, and conditions by capturing images of bones and soft tissues. When X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed at different levels, producing a contrast image. This process involves principles of radiation physics, where the type and amount of radiation influence the resulting image quality. Radiography is non-invasive and plays a crucial role in patient care, aiding in treatment planning and monitoring health.
