Course description

X-ray technology uses electromagnetic radiation to create images of the inside of objects, particularly the human body. It helps in diagnosing medical conditions, detecting fractures, and examining tissues, bones, and organs. X-rays are also used in industries for inspecting materials and ensuring structural integrity. The process involves passing X-rays through the body, with denser tissues like bones absorbing more radiation, creating contrast for detailed imaging.
