We in the medical field we are thought to practice A.L.A.R.A (As Low As Reasonably Achievable)

When you have Ultrasound vs. Radiography, Diagnostic Medical Sonography (Ultrasound) will always win when practicing ALARA.

Besides that, with ultrasound you can see the body tissues on a different level than when you try to see it using x-rays. You can see it functioning live. With x-rays, all images are see on a frame by frame, unless you are using flouroscopy(now you're cooking!). It allows you to evaluate hemodynamics (blood flow and it's structures). You can evaluate anything but bone and not the best to evaluate intestines with very gassy patients. That's where x-rays and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging, not x-ray) are the tests of choice.

An advantage of cosmic rays is that they are the same particles that are stable components (part) of the types of atoms that normally occur on Earth (ex. protons, electrons). They are also responsible for 10-15% of natural background radiation on Earth.

A disadvantage is that it takes 1 Sievert of cosmic rays to cause nausea and 2-6 Sieverts to cause death and unless you're shielded by really thick concrete, than cosmic rays are bouncing on you all the time.

the advantages of using a xray telecope is X-ray telescopes are used to study mainly the Sun, stars and supernovas. X-ray telescopes work better at very high altitudes on the Earth's surface, like on top of a very tall mountain where the atmosphere is thinner. They work even better in space. This is because the Earth's atmosphere interferes with the x-ray signals they receive.
