X-ray technology is a branch of medical imaging that uses electromagnetic radiation to create detailed images of the inside of the body. X-rays are commonly used to detect and diagnose various medical conditions, including fractures, tumors, and infections. The technology works by passing X-ray beams through the body, with different tissues absorbing and reflecting the rays differently, creating a contrast in the resulting image. X-ray technology is widely used in emergency rooms, clinics, and hospitals for diagnostic purposes.
