Journeys: Skeleton. Stop 7

X-ray

Someone has broken a bone! Move the X-ray frame over the body and find the crack.

There's the crack! The doctor will put on a cast, and the bone will heal. Keep looking!

Another one! One last patient to go.

X-rays pass through skin and muscles, but bones stop them. That's why bones show up on the picture.
