Study Notes
X-ray Imaging Principle and Technology
- X-rays penetrate tissues with variable absorption rates based on different densities.
- Image capturing methods include film or digital detectors.
X-ray Imaging Applications
- Bone Fractures: X-rays help identify and assess fractures by producing high-contrast images of bones.
- Chest Imaging: X-rays aid in diagnosing conditions such as pneumonia and lung tumors by visualizing lung tissue and surrounding structures.
- Dental Imaging: X-rays examine teeth and jawbones, facilitating the diagnosis of dental problems.
X-ray Imaging Advantages and Limitations
- Advantages: X-ray imaging is quick, accessible, and cost-effective.
- Limitations: X-ray imaging has limited soft tissue detail and poses a risk of radiation exposure.
