What's an X-Ray?

Article Translations: (Spanish)

X-ray

Say: EKS-ray

X-rays are special pictures of the inside of your body. A doctor will decide when you need an X-ray and what body part needs to be X-rayed. An X-ray machine, not a camera, takes these pictures. When the picture comes out, doctors can see broken bones, lung infections, and more. Superman may have X-ray vision, but your doctor has an X-ray machine!
