What are X-rays? X-rays are a form of radiation that can pass through solid and semi-solid substances. In carefully controlled doses‚ they can be used to capture images of the body’s internal structures. How X-rays work X-rays are a type of radiation. Light and X-rays are similar sources of energy. However‚ light has a much lower frequency than X-rays and is absorbed by your skin. X-rays have a higher frequency and pass through the human body. As X-rays pass through the body‚ energy particles

development occurs? People often wonder why it seems like their teens have been invaded by another body or why their baby suddenly wants to be separate from them. A study done by Dr. Jay Giedd who ran a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) on his own son shows some of the difference. An MRI is a magnetic field used to excite the atoms in the body and the energy emitted by these atoms is used to construct a computer-generated picture of the brain. (Pastorino) The MRI was used to show stages of the brain
