Medical imaging relies heavily on X-rays to visualize internal structures within the body. However, X-rays don't always provide a complete picture. Understanding the interaction of X-rays with different materials is crucial for interpreting these images. Learning the difference between these two terms can help you better understand how an X-ray machine functions.
