DIGITAL X-RAY

What are X-rays?

X-rays are a type of high-energy radiation that is used for body imaging. An X-ray machine can produce short bursts of X-rays. The rays pass easily through fluids and soft tissues of the body. However, dense tissue such as bone will block some of the X-rays. The denser the tissue, the less X-rays pass through it and hence we are able to get an image.
