Radiography is an imaging technique using X-rays to view the internal form of an object., To create the image, a form of electromagnetic radiation, are produced by an X-ray generation and are projected toward the object. The X-rays that pass through the object are captured behind the object by a photographic film re a digital detector.

The body is made up of various substances with differing densities. X-rays can be used to reveal the internal structure of the body on film by highlighting these differences using attenuation. Medical radiography acquisition is generally carried out by radiographers, while image analysis is generally done by radiologists.
