120 keV (0.10 to 0.01 nm wavelength) as "hard" X-rays‚ due to their penetrating abilities.[3] Hard X-rays can penetrate some solids and liquids‚ and all uncompressed gases‚ and their most common use is to image of the inside of objects in diagnostic radiography and crystallography. As a result‚ the term X-ray is metonymically used to refer to a radiographic image produced using this method‚ in addition to the method itself. By contrast‚ soft X-rays hardly penetrate matter at all; the attenuation length of

Radiology is a medical specialty that employs the use of imaging to both diagnose and treat disease visualized within the human body. Radiologists use an array of imaging technologies (such as x-ray radiography‚ ultrasound‚ computed tomography (CT)‚ nuclear medicine‚ positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) to diagnose or treat diseases. Interventional radiology is the performance of‚ usually minimally invasive‚ medical procedures with the guidance of imaging technologies
