An X-ray camera is a device used to visualize the internal structure of objects or living organisms using X-rays.
Similar to conventional digital cameras, an X-ray camera captures photons and converts them into images, but it uses high-energy electromagnetic waves that are invisible to the naked eye.
The main components of an X-ray camera are the detector and the image processing system. The detector receives X-rays and detects their intensity and position. When X-rays strike the detector, they generate electrons or light, and the pattern is then read. The image processing system analyzes the data from the detector and converts it into a visual image. In this process, differences caused by the absorption and scattering of X-rays as they pass through objects are utilized. As a result, the internal structures and density differences of objects or living organisms can be visualized.
