All diagnostic tests
X-ray
A quick picture of the inside of the body, made with a small dose of radiation. It shows bones and the chest most clearly.
How it works
- 1The X-ray tube sends a short, controlled beam.
- 2The beam passes through the body; bone absorbs more than soft tissue.
- 3A detector plate behind you records what comes through.
- 4The picture appears at once: bone white, air dark.
