Radiography uses x-ray radiation to create images of the tissues, organs, bones and vessels that make up the human body.
Most people are familiar with chest x-rays and also know that x-rays are the best way to diagnose broken bones. However, radiographers (x-ray technologists) perform a variety of these procedures in locations such as the operating room, emergency department, catheterization suites and bedside (for immobilized patients), to produce images of human anatomy for the physician to read and make a diagnosis.
