Which technology is used to take images of bones?
X - Ray
X - rays are high energy radiations which have the ability to penetrate the body tissues but not the bones. This property of x-rays makes them suitable for detection of broken bones. The image is developed by allowing a concentrated beam of x-rays to pass through the part of the body and onto a film coated with certain chemicals. The beams of the x-rays which get trapped by the bones do not reach the film and hence a shadow-like image of the bone structure is developed.
