An imaging technique is used to detect calcaneal spurs.
Radiography is an imaging technique using X-rays to view the internal structure of an object .. imaging technique. imaging technology. To create the image , a beam of X-rays , a form of electromagnetic radiation , is produced by an X-ray generator and is projected toward the object .. X-ray. X-ray. electromagnetic radiation. electromagnetic radiation. X-ray generator. X-ray generator. A certain amount of X-ray is absorbed by the object , dependent its density and composition .. X-ray. X-ray. The X-rays that pass through the object are captured behind the object by a detector -LRB- either photographic film or a digital detector -RRB- .. detector. X-ray detector. photographic film. photographic film. The generation of flat two dimensional images by this technique is called projectional radiography .. two dimensional. two dimensional. projectional radiography. projectional radiography. Computed tomography -LRB- CT scanning -RRB- is where multiple 2D images from different angles undergo computer processing to generate 3D representations .. X-ray computed tomography. Computed tomography. Computed tomography. Applications of radiography include medical -LRB- or `` diagnostic '' -RRB- radiography and industrial radiography .. industrial radiography. industrial radiography. Similar techniques are used in airport security -LRB- where `` body scanners '' generally use backscatter X-ray -RRB- .. X-ray.
