Hi, I heard many times about x-rays and I know many people who had this test done at least once in their life, but no one can tell me precisely how does it work. I would also like to know what can you see on x-rays and is it safe for your health to be exposed to it. Thanks in advance.

With X-rays you can see your bones, teeth and internal organs. It is painless and safe for people of all ages. They can help with diagnosing many different diseases, like dislocated and broken bone, joint injuries and bone infections, lung and heart diseases, artery blockages, locating of swollen objects… What is probably most important, X-rays can diagnose the cancer. A machine uses a tube that is carefully focused on specific body part that produces an X-ray beam. The radiation that passes through your body is at safe level, and it can’t harm you. Each tissue absorb different amount of X-rays. For example, skin, fat, muscles and organs allow more X-rays to pass through them than bones and dentures.
