X-rays are a type of electromagnetic wave radiation. Images of the inside of your body are created using X-ray imaging. The images depict various parts of your body in various shades of black and white. This is due to the fact that different tissues absorb different amounts of radiation. Because calcium in bones absorbs the most x-rays, bones appear white. Fat and other soft tissues absorb less and appear grey as a result. Because air absorbs the least, the lungs appear black. The most common application of x-rays is to check for fractures (broken bones), but they are also used for other purposes. Chest x-rays, for example, can detect pneumonia. Mammograms employ x-rays to detect breast cancer. To protect certain parts of your body during an x-ray, you may be required to wear a lead apron. An x-ray emits only a small amount of radiation. A chest x-ray, for example, emits a radiation dose comparable to the amount of radiation you are naturally exposed to from the environment over a 10-day period.
