Imaging Principles
Projectional radiography relies on the characteristics of x-ray radiation and knowledge of how it interacts with human tissue to create diagnostic images. X-rays are a form of ionizing radiation, meaning it has sufficient energy to potentially remove electrons from an atom, thus giving it a charge and making it an ‘ion’. Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy to penetrate human tissue.

Famous quotes containing the word principles:
“My country is bleeding, my people are perishing around me. But I feel as a South Carolinian, I am bound to tell the North, go on! go on! Never falter, never abandon the principles which you have adopted.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
