Xray
General Radiology.
The image, or x-ray film, is produced
when a small amount of radiation passes through the body to expose
sensitive film on the other side.
During conventional x-ray imaging,
the exiting x-rays interact with a detection device (x-ray
film) and provide a 2-dimensional projection image of the tissues
within the patient’s body.
This produces the x-ray.
X-rays are very popular in general medicine and used predominantly
for the imaging of bones and the chest area.
The chest x-ray is the most common
radiologic examination. During this examination, an image of
the heart, lungs and other anatomy is recorded on the film.
