Have you ever had a fracture and needed to get an X-ray? You might not have known it at the time, but the process whereby an image was taken of your skeleton is called radiography – it is defined as an imaging technique used in order to view the internal form of an object, another example of which you’ll find in an airport checking bags at the security line. What do you know about the study?
