Lindsay Xray Bone Chest

What is an X-ray

An X-ray exam consists of an electromagnetic wave that is passed through the body. The wave encounters differing materials, such as tissue, organs and bones, which have varying absorption densities. This allows an image to be produced showing the structure of your inner body.

A detector then captures the radiation that comes out of your body as an image, namely a radiograph.

A radiograph is created as a result of the X-rays being absorbed differently by different structures or organs in your body. Structures inside your body that are dense, such as your bones, absorb X-rays and show as light grey on the radiograph. Less dense structures, like the air in your lungs, let X-rays pass through them and show up as dark grey on the radiograph.

An X-ray is a painless procedure and can be used to help to diagnose and monitor a number of different health conditions. For this purpose, there are different types of X-ray examinations that can be performed. Some of the most common types are:

Bone X-rays
Chest X-rays
Abdomen X-rays
Bone X-rays

Bone X-rays are used to detect bone fractures that will require treatment. It may also produce evidence of arthritis in joints.  Bone cancer may also be discovered by way of the detection of a tumor.  Certain types of Bone X-ray can detect signs of Osteoporosis by measuring bone density.

Chest X-rays

A chest X-ray can be used to diagnose an enlarged heart which may be a sign of congestive heart failure. A mammogram is often used to detect breast cancer.  Lung infections such as Pneumonia and tuberculosis may be detected during a chest X-ray. Certain types of chest X-ray may detect signs of Osteoporosis by measuring the density of bones.

Abdomen X-rays

An abdominal X-ray may reveal a condition relating to the digestive tract. An abdominal X-ray may also reveal the location of an alien object that has been swallowed.
