Question

How do scientists use the properties of waves in medical imaging? (1 point)

X-rays are used to see inside the human body. This is possible because x-rays can pass through bones in the human body due to their lower energy and lower wavelength.

X-rays are used to see cancerous cells in the human body. This is possible because x-rays can pass through human skin due to their higher energy and higher wavelength.

- X-rays are used to create images of the inside of the human body by passing through tissues with different densities. This is possible because x-rays have high energy and short wavelengths, allowing them to penetrate tissues and create images of bones, organs, and other structures. Scientists use the properties of x-rays, including their ability to be absorbed or scattered by various tissues, to create detailed images that can help diagnose medical conditions such as fractures, tumors, and infections.
