What is an X-ray?

Most people are familiar with x-ray images, which produce a still picture of the body's interior by passing small, highly controlled amounts of radiation through the body, and capturing the resulting shadows and reflections on film. Different tissues, such as bone, blood vessels, muscles and other soft tissues, absorb x-ray radiation at different rates. When a special film plate is exposed to the absorbed x-rays, an image of the inside of the body is captured.

Diagnostic X-rays include:

Chest -	to evaluate at the heart and lungs.
Abdomen -	to evaluate at the abdomen & pelvis.
Bones -	to evaluate bones
