X-rays / Radiographs are a type of radiation called electromagnetic waves. It is a basic diagnostic with multiple uses. The images show the parts of your body in different shades of black and white. Calcium in bones absorbs x-rays the most, so bones look white. Fat and other soft tissues absorb less and look gray.
It is used to rule out fractures in trauma, infections or heart enlargement in the chest, intestinal obstruction or kidney calculi in the abdomen, etc. Special contrast studies are also done in X-Ray for varied purposes.
