Radiography

Radiography is the science of using radiation to contribute images of the tissues, organs, bones, and vessels that compose the human body. These images may be recorded on film or as a computerized image. Applications of radiography include medical radiography and industrial radiography. To create an image in conventional radiography, a beam of X-rays is composed by an X-ray generator and is projected toward the object. A certain amount of the X-rays and other radiation is absorbed by the object, dependent on the object's density and structural composition.
