Medical radiography

Medical radiography is when we take special pictures of the inside of your body using a machine that sees through your skin and bones. It helps doctors to see what is happening inside your body and to check if there is anything wrong that needs to be treated.

When you go to the hospital to get a medical radiography, you will lie down on a table or stand still while the machine takes a picture. The machine sends a small amount of X-rays or other types of radiation through your body, which are like little invisible beams of light. These beams of light pass through your body and are picked up by a special camera that makes a picture of what your insides look like.

The pictures that are taken by the machine are very important for doctors and other medical professionals because they help them understand what is happening inside your body. Sometimes, they might need to take more than one picture from different angles to get a complete understanding of what is happening.

It's important to know that medical radiography is safe when done properly by trained professionals. The amount of radiation used during the procedure is very small and the benefits of the pictures outweigh any potential risks. So don't be scared, it's just like getting your picture taken!
