What else can I help you with?
What types of views are used in chest x rays?
Routine chest x rays consist of two views, the frontal view (referred to as posterioranterior or PA) and the lateral (side) view.
What do orbital x rays involve?
The orbital x ray involves several different views in order for the physician to clearly see various parts of the eye without obstruction
Where are skull x rays performed?
Skull x rays are performed to examine the nose, sinuses, and facial bones. These studies may also be referred to as sinus x rays. X-ray studies produce films, also known as radiographs, by aiming x rays at soft bones and tissues of the body.
Does bursitis show up on xray?
On certain views, bursitis is well shown on x-rays.
Why would an X-ray telescope based on Earth not be able to detect X-Rays emitted distant stars?
Earth's atmosphere absorbs and scatters X-rays, preventing them from reaching the surface. To detect X-rays from distant stars, X-ray telescopes need to be placed in space above the atmosphere. This allows them to collect and study X-rays without interference.
Can x rays show a torn ligament in the foot?
X-rays don't show ligaments or muscles but some views will indicate the evidence that there may be torn ligaments eg. if the bones are widely separated or out of alignment.
How are CT scans and X-rays the same?
Both use X-Rays. Difference is X Rays use one single "shot" of radiation, CTs fire much more at you to get different "slices".
X-ray telescopes are located in orbit around the Earth because?
X-ray telescopes are placed in orbit around the Earth to avoid absorption of X-rays by Earth's atmosphere. By being in space, these telescopes can capture high-energy X-ray emissions from celestial objects that do not reach the surface due to the atmosphere.
Why are x-ray telescopes and gamma - ray telescopes in space?
The earth's atmosphere doesn't let these rays reach the ground, so the telescopes are placed in orbit where they can receive the rays.
How X rays are different from visible radiations?
X-Rays are shorter and more energetic than visible radiations, E=hc/r.
Is an x ray a gamma ray?
No. They are two different rays.
What is the cpt code for X-ray of the left ankle three views.?
for the xray to be diagnostic of the ankle, a minimum of 3 views is needed. That is why the cpt code shows a 3 view ankle series as one code. The CPT code for x-rays, 3 views of the ankle, is 73610.
