the production of charged ions.

, X-ray
- it is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It
energy is well suited for medical applications

- it is produced when high-speed electrons sto
as it hits a metal target plate. (100kV electric
potential to accelerate X-rays).

-X-rays are slightly absorbed or dispersed in t
presence of molecules and atoms.

HOW DOES X-RAYS PRODUCE AN IMAGE?

- X-rays penetrate the body and will then scat
denser parts of the body such as the Bone.
