Please make a 10-slide presentation about a topic in Physics. The presentation should cover the following topics: what the topic is, how it works, how it’s used in medical diagnostics, and any key...

X-RAYS AND MEDICAL IMAGING
What Are X-rays?
X-rays are the type of electromagnetic radiation with very short wavelengths and high energy.
It was Discovered by Wilhelm Röntgen in 1895, this revolutionized the way to visualize structures inside human body without invasive procedures.
Thee ability to penetrate soft tissues while being absorbed by denser materials like bone makes is useful in medical imaging.
How X-rays Work: Electromagnetic Spectru
X-rays occupy the specific position in the electromagnetic spectrum between ultraviolet light and gamma rays.
The short wavelength of X-rays allows to penetrate materials like skin and muscle but it is absorbed by denser materials like bones or metals.
The selective absorption creates contrast that forms the basis for X-ray images.
Basic Principles: X-ray Production
X-rays are generated when high-energy electrons are accelerated towards metal target that is in the X-ray tube.
When these electrons collide with the metal, X-rays are emitted.
The X-ray tube consists of cathode, anode and vacuum to maintain a controlled environment.
How X-rays Interact with the Body
When X-rays pass through the body, different tissues absorb different amounts of radiation.
Soft tissues like skin and muscles allow X-rays to pass through denser materials like bones absorb more X-rays.
This differential absorption creates a contrast on the film and detector with bones appearing white and softer tissues...
