Different imaging modalities. This training presentation covers the following imaging modalities involving X-rays:. Radiography. Fluoroscopy (under-table and C-arm). Computed Tomography (CT). Intraoral Dental. INTRODUCTION . Radiation is energy that moves through space or matter at a very high speed. This energy can be in the form of . particles. , e.g. alpha or beta particles, which are emitted from radioactive materials, or . X-rays. X-rays are a type of ionizing electromagnetic radiation.. X-rays are a valuable tool, but there are associated health risks.. These risks can be minimized by adhering to certain principles and practices as explained in this presentation. .
