X-ray is a non-invasive imaging technique used to visualize the internal structures of the body, particularly bones and certain soft tissues, through electromagnetic radiation.
X-rays pass through the body, capturing images on a special detector. Dense materials like bones absorb more radiation, appearing white, while soft tissues show up in shades of gray.
Modern X-ray machines use minimal radiation. Safety protocols like protective lead aprons ensure patient safety, especially for pregnant women and children.
