A member asked:
Can you tell me how are x-ray images produced?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brief explanation: X-ray electromagnetic radiation, much like visible light. Short wavelength transmitted through body tissues. In short, an x-ray machine transforms the kinetic (movement) energy of electrons into electromagnetic energy and thermal energy (heat). Different parts of the human body absorb the rays at different rates. rays at different rates(bone, soft tissues, metal, air absorb differently)
