GlossaryX-ray (X-radiation)

form of electromagnetic radiation used for imaging internal structures

An X-ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through the body to create images of internal structures, such as bones and organs. In medical contexts, X-ray imaging, also known as radiography, is commonly used to diagnose fractures, infections, and other conditions by capturing the varying degrees of absorption of X-rays by different tissues.
