• Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a german physicist, discovered x rays on November 8,1895.
• Roentgen was investigating the behavior of cathode rays in high energy cathode ray tube which was enclosed in black card board to prevent escape of light.
• On passing high voltage discharge through tube, he noticed a faint light glowing on a workbench about 3 feet away.

• He discovered that the source of light was the fluorescence of a small piece of paper coated with barium platinocyanide.
• Because electrons could not escape the glass envelope to produce fluorescence, & because
card board permitted no light to escape from tube, he concluded that some unknown type of ray (X) was produced when the tube was energised.
• He called them X-RAYS.

• X - rays is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
• They are produced by the X-ray tube, using the high voltage to accelerate the electrons produced by the cathode.
• The produced electrons interact with the anode, thus producing X-rays.

• Less than 1% of energy is converted into X-ray production.
• Anode is made of tungsten disc in ordinary diagnostic x ray tube.

• X-ray film displays the radiographic image and consists of emulsion (single or double) of silver halide (AgBr is most common) which when exposed to light, produces silver ion (Ag+) and electron.
• The total thickness of the film is about 0.25 mm.

Body positions
• erect: either standing or sitting
• decubitus: lying down
• supine: lying on back
• prone: lying face-down
• lateral decubitus: lying on one side– right lateral: right side touches the cassette– left lateral: left side touches the cassette

Projections
• antero-posterior: central ray passes from anterior to posterior
• postero-anterior: central ray passes from posterior to anterior
• lateral: central ray passes from one side of body to the other through the axial plane
• oblique: central ray passes through the body/body part through a plane which is at an angle to the transverse plane/coronal plane

Different tissues in our body absorb X-rays at different extents:
• Bone- high absorption (white)
• Tissue- somewhere in the middle absorption (grey)
• Air- low absorption (black)
