Question:

How are Electromagnetic waves Used in medicine?

Author: Miqdaam Hamed Hassan



Answer:

1) Changes in atoms and their nuclei can cause electromagnetic waves to be generated or absorbed 2) Gamma rays are produced by changes in the nucleus of an atom, they're a form of nuclear radiation 3) High energy waves such as X-rays and gamma rays are transmitted through body tissues with very little absorption. This makes them ideal for internal imaging. X-rays are absorbed by dense structures like bones, which is why X-ray photos are used to help identify broken bones
