X-ray technology

X-ray technology uses high-energy electromagnetic waves to create images of the inside of the body. When an X-ray beam passes through a person, denser tissues like bones absorb more radiation and appear white on the image, while softer tissues allow more rays through and appear darker. This contrast helps healthcare professionals identify fractures, infections, or abnormalities. The process is quick, painless, and widely used in medical diagnostics. X-rays are also employed in other fields, like security screening and industrial inspection, due to their ability to penetrate materials and reveal internal structures.
