Medical imaging commonly employs X-rays, a form of ionizing radiation, to view the internal structures of the body. X-rays penetrate soft tissues but are absorbed by denser materials, such as bones, creating clear images on film or digital sensors. This method is essential for diagnosing fractures, infections, and various health conditions, offering a quick and non-invasive way to visualize the body's internal anatomy. Other imaging techniques, such as MRI and CT scans, may also be used, but X-rays remain one of the most widely utilized due to their speed and effectiveness.
