X-rays can penetrate the body and create an image by passing through different tissues that absorb or transmit varying amounts of radiation. A detector behind the body captures the remaining X-rays to create an image that reveals the internal structures of the body. Contrast agents may be used to highlight specific areas for better clarity in the image.
What else can I help you with?
What is internal radiation?
In internal radiation therapy a source of radioactivity is surgically placed inside the body near the cancer
How does MRI produce an image of the internal structures of the body?
MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the internal structures of the body. The magnetic field aligns the hydrogen atoms in our body, and when radio waves are applied, these atoms emit signals that are used to create the images.
What form of ionizing radiation can penetrate deeply into the body?
alpha
What radiation can harm the internal organs?
Ionizing radiation, such as gamma rays, X-rays, and some types of particles, can harm internal organs by damaging their cells and causing mutations that may lead to cancer. Exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation can also cause immediate effects, such as radiation sickness and organ failure.
What is a example for a internal force?
An example of an internal force is the force exerted by muscles within the human body to move limbs or produce facial expressions.

What type of electromagnetic radiation is used in imaging and radiation oncology?
X-rays are typically used in medical imaging to create images of the body's internal structures, while gamma rays are used in radiation oncology to treat cancer. Both forms of electromagnetic radiation can penetrate the body to visualize internal structures or target and destroy cancerous cells.
Does MRI uses a magnetic field rather than an x-ray to produce an image?
Yes, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body's internal structures. Unlike X-rays, which use ionizing radiation to create images, MRI relies on the magnetic properties of atoms in the body, primarily hydrogen, to generate images. This makes MRI a safer option for many patients, especially for repeated imaging.
What are some subsequent symptoms of radiation sickness?
Severe body fluid loss, internal bleeding, and diarrhea

What kind of animal does not produce much internal heat?
Cold-blooded animals do not produce much body heat. Most do not produce any at all.

Does the k-40 in your body cause any internal damage?
Potassium-40 (K-40) is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope found in small amounts in the human body due to the food we eat. The low levels of radiation from K-40 in the body are not harmful and do not typically cause internal damage. The body has mechanisms to regulate and handle the radiation exposure from K-40.
Which best describes the process of radiation?
Radiation is the emission of energy in the form of waves or particles. It can come from various sources, such as the sun or nuclear reactions. In the context of health, radiation exposure can have harmful effects on living organisms.
