▪ X-ray: A procedure in radiology that consists of using highly ionized radiation produced by shooting electrons at a metal target to expose film after the radiation has passed through a patient's body. Generally speaking, the harder and denser the tissues, the harder it is for X-Rays to penetrate them. As such, X-Rays passing through structures like bone and metal will not expose the film, while normal body tissues allows X-Rays to pass right through to expose the film.
