X-rays are also known as radiographs and are well-known and one of the oldest dated diagnostic technologies. X-rays emit higher energy, so they are about to pass through objects in view. X-rays have the ability to create images of the inside of the body. An x-ray technician is able to place the detector behind you and continue with the x-ray. The x-ray will pass through the detector as well as your body, which will produce an image that will represent the bones, tissues, and any foreign objects that may be inside of you. There is a difference between digital x-ray technology and one of the more modern takes on x-rays. X-rays, once completed, provide a picture on the technician’s computer and convert them to a digital format to be easily accessible and transferred to other clinics and doctors if necessary. Digital x-rays provide the technician with easier access to diagnosing your injuries for bone spurs and minor fractures, which can be harder to see on traditional x-ray images.
