An *X-ray* works by using *electromagnetic radiation* to create detailed images of the inside of the body. The process begins with an X-ray machine that emits X-rays, which pass through the body and are absorbed at different rates by various tissues.
*Dense materials, such as bones, absorb more X-rays, appearing **white* on the image, while *softer tissues* allow more X-rays to pass through, resulting in *darker* areas on the image.
This differential absorption is captured by a *detector*, which converts the data into a visual image for diagnostic purposes. X-rays are an essential tool in medical imaging, helping healthcare professionals identify and assess various conditions.
