What is an X-Ray?

An X-ray is a non-invasive way for physicians to see inside the body. It employs a regulated quantity of ionizing radiation in order to obtain images of the bones, organs and other internal structures. Such images are crucial for physicians to arrive at an appropriate diagnosis for fractures, infections, and tumors, and to monitor the progression of these conditions while also guiding treatment.

• Being quick, simple and effective, X-rays have a role in imaging in many parts of medicine.
• Such imaging studies are often performed by radiologic technologists and interpreted by radiologists.
• This technology provides a clear window into what is beneath the skin, from dental imaging to bone assessment to chest X-ray.

How Do X-Rays Work?

• With X-rays, a small amount of radiation goes through the body.
• Different tissues absorb radiation to different degrees — bones absorb a greater amount and, on the resulting image, appear white.
• Soft tissues absorb less and appear in gray shades.
• As the radiation passes through the body, it gets registered with a digital sensor or film on the other side. This generates a contrast image that can be checked for irregularities.
• As the process is very quick, it hardly takes a few minutes. People can easily do X-rays as they are nearly painless, too.

Also, things have changed in the last few years and with technology, X-rays have become safer and accurate. They use even less radiation and give clearer images than before.

When Are Medical X-Rays Used?

• In the event that a patient suffers trauma, such as in a fall or accident, an X-ray can immediately determine if they have fractures or internal damage.
