röntgenstråldiagnostik
Röntgenstråldiagnostik, also known as radiography, is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to visualize the internal structures of the body. This non-invasive procedure plays a crucial role in diagnosing a wide range of medical conditions. When X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed to varying degrees by different tissues. Dense tissues like bone absorb more X-rays and appear white on the resulting image, while less dense tissues such as soft tissues allow more X-rays to pass through, appearing in shades of gray. Air, such as that in the lungs, absorbs very few X-rays and appears black.
The X-ray beams are directed at the area of interest, and a detector captures the transmitted radiation.
