What is "radiography"?
Radiography is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays or other types of radiation to create pictures of the inside of the body. During the procedure, radiation passes through the body and is captured on a special film or a digital sensor to produce detailed images. These images help doctors view the bones, organs, and tissues, allowing them to diagnose conditions such as fractures, infections, and tumors. Radiography is commonly used for its quick and effective way to evaluate and monitor a variety of health issues.
