''Chest x-ray (CXR) is the most common radiographic procedure. It is the upper part of the trunk or known as thorax, situated between neck and abdomen. For imaging purposes, it was divided into three parts which are the bony thorax, the respiratory system ...'

''Radiocontrast agents (also simply contrast agents or contrast materials) are compounds used to improve the visibility of internal bodily structures in an X-ray image. Contrast agents are also used in MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Although MRI is ...'

''X-Ray grids consist of a series of lead strips placed in front of the X-Ray film, and are used in some diagnostic techniques to improve image quality by stopping scatter radiation from reaching the X-Ray film. The grid was invented by Dr Gustave Bucky ...'
