Technical Considerations
X-ray photons are formed in events involving electrons and are the mainly form of ionizing electromagnetic radiation used in medical radiography. This radiation is much more energetic than the more familiar types such as radio waves and visible light. Proper production and detection of photons are important in the creation of good radiograms.

Famous quotes containing the word technical:
“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
