X-Ray

X-ray is a common imaging technique in radiology that uses electromagnetic radiation to create images of the body's internal structures. It is primarily used to diagnose fractures, infections, lung diseases, and certain tumors. X-rays pass through soft tissues but are absorbed by denser materials like bones, making them appear white on the image. Contrast agents can enhance visibility of organs and blood vessels. It is a quick, non-invasive, and widely used diagnostic tool.
