Browsing: X-ray
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than those of visible light, which enables them to pass through many materials that light cannot. Discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, X-rays are widely used for diagnostic medical imaging and therapeutic applications. They work by projecting X-ray beams through the body onto a detector or film on the other side, creating an image that highlights contrasts based on the varying densities and compositions of different tissues, bones, and organs. This makes them particularly useful for identifying fractures, examining the chest for lung conditions, and assessing other abnormalities within the body. In addition to their medical uses, X-rays are employed in industry for inspecting the integrity of materials and in security for scanning luggage and containers. X-ray technologies have evolved with the development of computed tomography (CT) scans, which provide more detailed cross-sectional images of the body, enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
