X-rays are a form of ionizing radiation, similar to the gamma rays from nuclear radiation. These forms of radiation are highly-penetrating, and they damage or kill cells deep within the body. People who work with these types of radiation on a regular basis want to avoid damage to their bodies, and so they take protective measures to minimize their exposure.
