• What is an X-ray?

• An X-ray is a common imaging test thats been
  used for decades. It can help your doctor view
  the inside of your body without having to make an
  incision. This can help them diagnose, monitor,
  and treat many medical conditions.
• Different types of X-rays are used for different
  purposes. For example, your doctor may order
  a mammogram to examine your breasts. Or they may
  order an X-ray with a barium enema to get a
  closer look at your gastrointestinal tract.

• Procedure

• An X-ray technologist or radiologist can perform
  an X-ray in a hospitals radiology department, a
  dentists office, or a clinic that specializes in
  diagnostic procedures.
• Once youre fully prepared, your X-ray technician
  or radiologist will tell you how to position your
  body to create clear images. They may ask you to
  lie, sit, or stand in several positions during
  the test. They may take images while you stand in
  front of a specialized plate that contains X-ray
  film or sensors. In some cases, they may also ask
  you to lie or sit on a specialized plate and move
  a large camera connected to a steel arm over your
  body to capture X-ray images.
• Its important to stay still while the images are
  being taken. This will provide the clearest
  images possible.
