What are x-rays?
Conventional radiography (x-ray) is a simple, quick and painless procedure. X-rays consist of electromagnetic waves of energy that penetrate matter to a variable extent, depending on the density of the matter. The remaining radiation after penetration and absorption by the tissues produces various grades of black and white on very sensitive x-ray film.
What are x-rays used for?
Fractures, problems involving the joints, and supporting structures within the joints can often be seen on an x-ray as well as organs such as the chest, abdomen and pelvis can also be evaluated through the use of x-rays. Specifically, x-rays can show abnormalities like tumours, masses, strictures or obstructions. Certain diseases, such as pneumonia and tuberculosis, can also be identified.
