Why is it necessary to shield those parts of the patient not under investigation from x rays?

We know that X-rays can be harmful. They can damage body tissue. Because of this, when we use X-rays to aid in medical diagnosis, we want to expose only the area of interest to the incident beam of the machine. We'll protect other areas as necessary using lead blankets. X-ray staffers know where to place the blankets, and they arrange them to protect other body parts. It's a sure bet that reproductive organs will be hidden under those blankets.

∙ 10y agobecause x-rays use a type of radiation called gamma rays. these rays allow the doctor to see the bones in you. but gamma rays can cause radiation poisoning or cancer if you are exposed to them in large quantities. but don't worry X rays only use a small amount not enough to harm you.
