However I Have many other parts that still seem to be working fine.

How do X rays detect bone cancer?

X-rays only show up dense areas in the body such as bone. An x-ray may show tumors in the lung as they show up as dense white patches and they can show bone erosion in people with bone tumours but they can't show up tumours which are the same density as the surrounding organs such as liver or kidney tumours. Similarly some cancers are carried in the blood or lymphatic system and these will also not be distinguishable on an x-ray. Other procedures can be used to outline these tumours, such as the use of x-ray dyes, CT scans or ultrasounds.

Does marijuana show up in airport xrays?

Yes, unless you hide it in a lead box, marijuana will show up on both the carry-on x-rays and your x-rays. The #1 thing someone gets caught with at airports is marijuana, especially small amounts.

How do x rays see through things?

Xrays pass through most substinces. Various detectors can be used to detect the ammount of xrays that are sent from one side verses what is picked up on the other side. The difference can give you information about an object. Xray radiation is created when high speed electrons hit a solid object. Basically high voltage electricity (usually 40,000 - 120,00 volts) is pushed across a gap from a cathode to an anode. The Anode is usually made of tungsten or other materials that can withstand high temperatures. The anode is usually spinning so that the target is not hit in the same spot over and over again, this allows the anode to last longer. When the high voltage hits the target it releases xray radiation. Xray radiation is invisible, but it causes some elements to glow. The best used today are rare earth elements like yttrium and gadolinium. The xrays travel through the patient's body and hit a film cassette that is treated with some of these rare earth elements and it glows wherever the xrays reach it. Some of your body blocks the xrays so the screen only glows in areas that is not entirely blocked. The thicker and more dense the body part the more xrays are blocked. Bone is very dense so it blocks more xrays than most any other tissue, so bones show up as clear areas on the film. The film is placed between these screens inside the cassette safe from regular light. So that the only light that reaches this film is the light created by the glowing elements bombarded by xray radiation. The glowing of the elements bombarded by xrays causes the film to turn black and or grey depending on the amount of xrays that are blocked. Modern xray machines have cassettes that use different phosphorus materials that keep a temporary image on the cassette then the cassette is read by a machine and creates a digital image. There is no film in these type of cassettes. This is done because more and more facilities are not using film anymore. Storing xrays is cheaper and more efficient on computer hard drives as digital xrays. Because of the digital storage of xrays some xray machines do not use cassettes at all, only digital readers.
