Abstract

This research included the study of X-rays and their applications in medicine, as it included: The first chapter identified X-rays and their most important sources, X-ray tubes and the dangers of X-rays. In the second chapter, the types of X-ray imaging in the medical field and the importance of X-ray imaging were identified. The stages of X-ray imaging and the parts of the body that are examined using these rays were also studied. The positions in which X-ray imaging is performed and other benefits of X-ray imaging were also studied and identified. The most important thing that was studied was the applications of X-rays in the medical field and the most prominent problems that can be detected by X-rays in dentistry. As for the third chapter, fractures, their types, methods of diagnosis and symptoms were identified, in addition to osteoporosis, methods of diagnosis, symptoms, causes and methods of prevention.
