What else can I help you with?
Can xrays go through body?
Yes.
Why do you have xrays?
Usually to check for broken bones or bone malformations.
Can xrays be stoped by bone?
Yes, that's why it is used to tell where bones are. The x-rays pass through the tissues like muscles and fat but are stopped by the bones.
Do xrays get through earths atmosphere?
no.
Where and why do you use xrays?
You get an xray taken at a hosbital and it is used to see if you have a fractured or broken bone
Why is it that sometimes when bones are x rayed they appear as white images?
Bones always appear as white images in regular xrays. However they arent really white because the film is clear, the plastic on the view box is white. But on xray film it is coated with a metalic layer. The xrays make the metalic layer stick to the film. So the black part of the film is where all the xrays reach the film. If the area on the xray is gray, then that means that some of the xrays are getting through implying that the structure is more dense than the black part. Soft tissue appears gray. The bone is a very dense structure allowing minimal to no xrays getting through. The film is then put through the processor and the film runs through chemicals that make the picture "stay" on the film. It is then rinsed and dried. Since the xrays make the metalic layer stick, none stick to the area of the bone because no radiation got through and the layer was washed off during processing. This is why bones appear white, they are the densest structure.

Do you need a cast if you bruised your elbow bone?
usually the doctor's will take a few xrays before deciding on anything. If the xrays show nothing than no, they will probably tell you to ice than heat and keep repeating it until the uncomfortable feeling goes away. But if the xrays show concerning results they will most likely send you to a orthopedic (bone doctor). Hope this helps!
Does xrays go through earths atmosphere?
No, the earth's atmosphere reflects and absorbs x-rays, so they do not make it to the surface.
Does a lip piercing go through bone?
There are no bones in the lip. Body piercings do not go through bone, only skin or cartilage.
How are xrays used?
because it enables you to see if you have a broken bone or not. however, it is dangerous as its bad for you, as the radiation waves get passed through your body and damage your insides! :) x
Are there certain tests a doctor can do to see if you have bone disease?
Yes, they can perform blood tests, xrays, CAT Scans, MRI. Bone density test. They might also do a bone marrow test.
