X-rays: One
form of radiation that can, at low energy levels, produce an image of the body or organ on
film or computer monitor using a special detector. At
high energy levels, x-rays can be used to destroy cancer cells.
Xeroradiography (xeromammography):
An outdated form of mammography that records the image of the breast on paper rather than
on film. This method is rarely used now.
