x-ray machine
See-through imaging device
An x-ray machine is a device that generates x-rays—high-energy electromagnetic radiation that can pass through soft tissue but is absorbed by denser materials like bone and metal.
Medical x-ray machines produce images for diagnosing fractures, tumors, and other internal conditions.
Security x-ray machines scan luggage and packages at airports and checkpoints.
Dental offices, veterinary clinics, and industrial facilities all use specialized versions: The x-ray machine revealed a hairline fracture in her wrist.
