X-ray Imaging

X-ray imaging is a medical technique that uses invisible electromagnetic radiation to create images of the inside of the body. During the procedure, a machine sends X-rays through the body, which are absorbed differently by various tissues—bones absorb more, appearing white, while softer tissues allow more X-rays to pass through, resulting in darker areas. This contrast helps doctors visualize structures like bones, organs, and cavities, aiding in the diagnosis of fractures, infections, or tumors. X-ray imaging is quick, non-invasive, and a vital tool in modern medicine for assessing health and guiding treatment.
