X-rays are waves of electromagnetic radiation that are absorbed differently by different tissues. Bones absorb them well because they are dense. A skeletal X-ray specifically looks at your skeletonâwhich is made up of all the bones in your body.
Radiographers use radiation (x-rays) to produce black-and-white images of anatomy. The images are captured on film, computer or videotape. X-rays may be used to detect bone fractures, find foreign objects in the body, and demonstrate the relationship between bone and soft tissue. The most common type of x-ray exam is chest radiography.
