How is an X-ray produced?

Kenneth W. Chin (M.D., F.A.C.R.) gives expert video advice on: Can any part of the body be X-rayed?; What are the risks of X-ray radiation?; What is the difference between a low dose exam and a high dose exam? and more...

When a x-ray beam passes through a body part, different parts of the body will allow more or less of that x-ray beam to pass through and because of that the deferential transmission and absorption of that radiation allows you to record behind that body part the amount that is finally coming through. When we do that we can contrast between various parts of the body and outline parts of that body by imaging that on film or currently, using digital imagining.
