It helps them locate fractured bones or what happened to the bodies that we cannot see externally. The reason doctors step outside whenever they do an xray on you is because its really unhealthy for them to have repeated exposures to the radiation. Patients typically do not have a lot of exposure and so with proper screening it is safe.

Grid controlled X ray tube?

a grid is a device placed in front of the image receptor which only allows xrays to travel directly through from the tube and prevent xrays which have been "scattered" from passing through to the image. This gives a much clearer resulting image. Grids are generally only used on thicker body parts where scattered xrays are more of an issue
