During an X-ray, a controlled dose of radiation is directed through the body onto a specialized X-ray detector. Dense structures such as bones absorb more radiation, resulting in a contrast between bones and surrounding tissues on the X-ray image. This contrast reveals the internal structures, providing valuable information to healthcare professionals.

Interpreting X-ray images requires expertise and experience. Medical professionals analyze these images to identify fractures, dislocations, abnormalities, and other conditions. X-ray images are often used as a preliminary diagnostic tool, guiding further investigations or treatments if necessary.
