Radiography of Bone

Abstract

Introduction: When the x-rays pass through the body they are weakened by the many types and layers of tissues. Bone being denser, absorbs a greater amount of radiation and they appear more prominently (e.g. whiter) than soft tissue.
Objective: Review on X ray and other imaging techniques of bone.
Result: Bone x-rays are the fastest and easiest way for a physician to view and assess broken bones and joint and spine injuries, images for diagnosis and disease management and is particularly useful in emergency diagnosis and treatment.
