X-ray Imaging Technology

X-ray imaging technology uses high-energy electromagnetic waves to create images of the inside of the body. When these rays pass through tissues, bones, and organs, they are absorbed at different rates. Dense structures like bones absorb more X-rays and appear white on the image, while softer tissues absorb less and appear darker. This contrast helps doctors identify fractures, infections, or abnormalities. The process is quick, non-invasive, and essential for diagnosing many medical conditions with minimal discomfort, enabling precise visualization of internal structures without surgery.
