After an X-ray is taken, the radiation passes through the body and is absorbed by different tissues to varying degrees. The X-ray photons that are not absorbed strike the film or digital detector, creating an image based on the varying densities of the tissues. The remaining radiation continues to disperse into the environment, becoming negligible and posing no significant risk. Ultimately, the X-ray exposure is brief, and the radiation is quickly diminished.
