X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through many materials opaque to visible light. They have wavelengths ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometers. X-rays are commonly used in medical imaging to diagnose conditions like fractures, cancers, and lung and abdominal issues. The procedure involves placing the body part being examined in the path of an X-ray beam; images provide information about internal structures. While very useful, X-rays do expose patients to radiation, so risks must be considered.

X-RAY By: Aisha Khalid
? An electromagnetic wave of high energy and very short wavelength, which is able to pass through many materials opaque to light. "an X-ray source¡° ? Most X-rays have a wavelength ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometers,
? X-ray, or radiography, is the oldest and most common form of medical imaging. ? X-rays, gamma rays and beta particles are all used in medicine to treat internal organs ? X-rays and gamma rays are used in medicine. They are electromagnetic waves and part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
X-ray
Uses ? X-Ray technique is one of the most initial and informative investigation in diagnosing various abnormal or diseased conditions such as: ? Trauma. ? Road Traffic Accidents. ? Joint Pains and Injuries. ? Fever and long standing cough ? Fractures. ? Can be used to estimate bone age. ? Various forms of Cancer
How is it done ? The time taken for an x-ray is approximately from few minutes. ? During the exam you will either be asked to stand near the machine or either lie down on the table. ? The room may be cool in order to prevent the machines from overheating. ? Xray exams are done quickly. ? The equipment needed is barely expensive and found widely everywhere.

Risks: ? X-ray exams exposure patients to radiation. The amount of radiation exposure is variable depending upon the X-ray type (for example, of the brain, lungs, or abdomen) and the X-ray machine type because the radiation exposure is variable, the risks are also variable. Everyone should know about the degree of hazard from a given X-Ray before proceeding to the procedure itself. ? Women should inform their doctor if they are or may be pregnant or nursing prior to any radiological imaging. Your doctor may recommend another type of test to reduce the possible risk of exposing your baby to radiation. ? There is a rare risk of a major allergic reaction to the contrast agent.
