How are Electromagnetic waves Used in medicine?

1) Changes in atoms and their nuclei can cause electromagnetic waves to be generated or absorbed 2) Gamma rays are produced by changes in the nucleus of an atom, they're a form of nuclear radiation 3) High energy waves such as X-rays and gamma rays are transmitted through body tissues with very little absorption. This makes them ideal for internal imaging. X-rays are absorbed by dense structures like bones, which is why X-ray photos are used to help identify broken bones
