How Do X-rays Work?

X-rays were one of the first forms of biomedical imaging and NIBIB's 60 Seconds of Science explain how they create those images of bones we all know well.

THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL, I was looking for some websites and videos that has a much more simpler explanation on how do really x-rays work, and yours is a life-saver.

Wow. Instant understanding. This is much simpler to understand than the other long videos.
Thanks for the video

Today in Science History!

In 1895, Wilhem Rontgen took the first x-ray image of the human body. It took 90 minutes of exposure, at a radiation dose of 1500 times what is used today, for him to get an image of his wife's hand. Learn more about x-rays work with NIBIB's 60 Seconds of Science:

Can't be explained any better... Thank you

[Lilweeji]

I learned more from this minute video than watching a 8 minute video showing me circles flying...

[rumis.dollsss.]

I'm so glad that there are concise videos like this.

I like the bgm so much that I cannot stop myself from shifting attention to it

[asran]

Short video is better than others I got lost for whole 5 min and here I learnt in a min

[ksistshdhdbdjejehehd]

Im only 10 and I STILL learned allot!!!
Thanks!!!

Just to clarify, although this might make it more complicated, does the calcium basically absorb some gamma rays?

[anthonylimon]

Thank you so much. This was able to help me with my science project!

[ksistshdhdbdjejehehd]

This video helped me learn ALLOT!!!


Thanks!!! 😋

NIBIB's 60 Seconds of Science explains the physics of #xrays:

[Burden-THE]

Once somebody told me about how cobalt-60 was used once to emit x-ray radiation, I've needed to know how it works. Though informative, I didn't find any new information from this video.

Very useful and intersting, thanks for sharing

[tronbashcottrellbash]

Oh my goodness I love this video it helped my girlfriend understand x rays so much more than she did before

[danilomiranda]

Why eletromagnetic waves are always represented as a sinusoidal signal?

[blinddig]

@saraaMoh you're wrong, this is extremely concise and helpful

[AjayKushwaha-vivg]

Thanks your one line is helpful. To understand how to catch picture of bones by x rays
