Detailed explanation-1: -An X-ray study (also called a radiograph) is a type of medical imaging (radiology) that creates pictures of your bones and soft tissues, such as organs. X-rays use safe amounts of radiation to make these pictures. The images help your provider to diagnose conditions and plan treatments.

Detailed explanation-2: -Radiography is a type of x-ray procedure, and it carries the same types of risks as other x-ray procedures. The radiation dose the patient receives varies depending on the individual procedure, but is generally less than that received during fluoroscopy and computed tomography procedures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Radiology, also known as diagnostic imaging, is a series of tests that take pictures or images of parts of the body. The field encompasses two areas-diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology-that both use radiant energy to diagnose and treat diseases.

Detailed explanation-4: -X-ray radiography: Detects bone fractures, certain tumors and other abnormal masses, pneumonia, some types of injuries, calcifications, foreign objects, or dental problems.

Detailed explanation-5: -Radiography or X-ray uses radiation and radio waves to create images of the bones and organs. X-ray was the very first diagnostic imaging tool used and is still the most widely used non-invasive diagnostic procedure today.
