X-Ray

X-ray imaging, often simply referred to as "X-ray," is a medical imaging technique that uses electromagnetic radiation to create images of the inside of the body. X-rays are a form of ionizing radiation, which means they have enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, leading to the creation of images that highlight the density differences within the body.

Medical professionals take measures to minimize radiation exposure to patients by using the lowest effective dose and employing protective measures. Advances in technology have also led to improved image quality and reduced radiation doses in modern X-ray systems.
