Diagnostic x-ray is produced with the help of external radiation that produce pictures of the various parts of the human anatomy such as the bone structures and other organs. The process of capturing images of the internal parts of the body is known as fluoroscopy. Southern radiology clinics in Australia use tread plates while capturing the images of the internal parts of the body. When an x ray procedure is being conducted, the body allows the beams emitted by the x ray machine to penetrate through the tissues of the body. The bone structure of the body appears as white on the x ray film and the other muscle tissues appear as black or dark gray. Now suppose someone is detected with a broken bone then the broken area will appear as a black line on the white bone structure. The diagnostic x ray has indeed proven to be a boon for the doctors.

The technology used in x rays is also exploited to the fullest in other diagnostic procedures for example fluoroscopy and CT Angiograms. When x rays are being produced for medical reasons then usually a very fine metallic sheet is put in between the machine and the persons body. The sheet is put very close to the opening in the tube that produces the x ray. This helps to produce better x rays. X rays are really helpful when it comes to detecting any ailment with the bone structure of a living being; however in the recent years they have also been very useful in detecting problems plaguing the tissues and muscles of the human body. For example many x-ray Radiology clinics carry chest x rays that can detect diseases like lung cancer and pneumonia. X rays carried out around the lower abdominal region can reveal diseases like ileus which can be fatal if it goes unchecked.

However there are certain cases where X rays are not that useful for example kidney stones or gallstones; to detect these effectively doctors often conduct CT angiogram to get a clear picture of things. It based on the CT angiogram results that the doctors decide upon the method of treatment or surgery if at all needed. The images produced by an angiogram is very accurate; many complicated diseases can be detected and cure because of this technology. This also gives the doctors a fair idea about the intensity of the disease so that they can come up with a suitable treatment. No matter how good these x rays are people have always wondered whether they are safe or not. There are various magazines and write ups in news papers that have stated that x rays cause cancer but so far no scientific evidence has been discovered that confirms that x rays can cause cancer in the long run. In spite of these rumors doctors all over the world use this technology to detect some of the baffling cases in the medical world and to try and solve them by providing a suitable treatment for the patient.
