An X-ray is a quick, painless test that produces images of the structures inside your body, particularly your bones. X-ray beams can pass through your body, but they are absorbed in different amounts depending on the density of the material they pass through.
X-rays are most well-known for their ability to see through the skin and reveal images of the bones beneath it. Today, advances in technology have led to more powerful and focused X-rays and ever greater applications of these light waves. For some types of X-ray tests, a contrast medium — such as iodine or barium — is introduced into your body to provide greater detail on the images.
