röntgenmynd
Röntgenmynd, commonly known as X-ray imaging, is a widely used medical imaging technique that produces images of the internal structures of the human body, particularly bones and certain tissues. The method relies on ionizing radiation, specifically X-rays, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation with high penetrating power. When X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed to varying degrees depending on the density of the tissues they encounter. Dense structures like bones absorb more X-rays, appearing white on the resulting image, while less dense tissues, such as skin or fat, allow more X-rays to pass through and appear darker.
The technique was discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, a German physicist, who named the unknown
Modern X-ray systems use digital detectors to capture images, replacing traditional film-based methods. This advancement has
Beyond medical applications, X-ray technology is also employed in industrial inspections, security screening, and material analysis.
