Wilhelm Conard Roentgen was invented x-rays and so study of x-rays is called roentgenology. Another name for study of x-rays is called Radiology. X-rays are indistinguishable wave particles of energy. X-rays are formed by means of an energy basis for instance an x-ray machine or cathode ray tube. X-rays are helpful in identifying and handling of diseases.

Nuclear medicine is the medical speciality facilitates us to study the distinctiveness and applications of radioactive materials in the analysis of diseases. Radioactive substances emit high-speed constituent parts and energy- containing beams of rays on or after the center of their substance. The given out particles and beams of rays. This activity is called radioactivity. There are three type of radioactive elements that emits radioactivity, such as alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.

Gamma rays are analogous to x-rays because they comprise no mass and are used successfully seeing that an investigating marker to mark out the trail and uptake of chemical substances in the body.
