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.
