  1. Myths and Facts about X-rays and other Scans

  2. INTRODUCTIONX-rays are a type of radiation called electromagnetic waves. X-ray imaging creates pictures of the inside of your body. The images show the parts of your body in different shades of black and white. This is because different tissues absorb different amounts of radiation. Calcium in bones absorbs x-rays the most, so bones look white. Fat and other soft tissues absorb less, and look gray. Air absorbs the least, so lungs look black.

  3. MYTH: ALL SCANS ARE X-RAYSPlain X-rays and CT scans use X-beam radiation while different scans don’t. An X-ray gives you one picture, for example of your chest or a limb
