X-Ray

X-ray means radiation produced by electrons, subatomic particles that make up atoms.

Humans make x-radiation with devices called 'x-ray tubes.' Basically, it's a vaccum tube with a cathode (a metal plate that *produces* electrons in a vacuum) at one end, and an anode (the same thing, but it *collects* electrons instead) at the other. This produces an electrical current, called the 'beam,' between the two plates.

When the cathode produces electrons, they smack into the anode very, very fast. This knocks the electrons of atoms in the anode (this is usually made of an electrically conductive metal, like molybdenum, copper or tungsten) off the plate, and these *new* electrons can be collected with other machinery tuned to perform whatever task the X-rays are needed for, like radiography and such.

Blood tests such as LDH and CPK to measure cardiac enzymes and distinguish between a heart attack and pericarditis, as well as a complete blood count (CBC) to look for infection.

X ray film was produced much like the film for visible light. Silver halide suspensions were spread on the backing material.

Because most X-rays pass through the skin and other body tissue, the X-ray strikes the photographic film beneath the area. unlike other body tissues, bones absorb X-rays

On an x ray, empyema thoracis will appear as a cloudy or opaque ar

The "x" is not an abbreviation of another word. It's the "x" from algebra,

which refers to any unknown quantity. Wilhelm Roentgen did not know

what had passed through his hand and accidentally produced an image

of the bones in his hand on a nearby piece of film, and he referred to

whatever it was as "X strahlen" ... German for "X rays" where 'X' means

'unknown'. In Europe X-rays are known as Roentgen rays.

X-Radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of

0.01 to 10 nanometers.

It can damage the tissue or make it malfunction. X rays can damage the embryo also.

You get an xray taken at a hosbital and it is used to see if you have a fractured or broken bone

The idea is that, due to the small wavelength of X-rays, atoms can serve as a diffraction grid - causing diffraction patterns. (If you don't know about diffraction, I suggest you search in the questions for "diffraction", or ask a separate question for diffraction.) Crystals are good for this, because of their regular structure.

X-ray darkroom is a film processing unit for manual and autoprocessor with the room light tight

my question is, what is an X-RAY fish and .. YES you can eat any fish, but, be careful... it might be poisonous

A medical imaging device that can be used to locate a tumor in the brain is a MRI. MRI stands for Magnetic resonance imaging and uses radio waves and a magnetic field.

A Davis series X-ray, also known as a Davis series radiograph, is a diagnostic imaging technique used to visualize the spine. It involves taking multiple X-ray images of the spine in different positions, such as bending forward, backward, and sideways. This series of X-rays helps healthcare providers assess the alignment, curvature, and movement of the spine, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions such as scoliosis, kyphosis, and other spinal abnormalities.

a doctor can look at your body to see whats wrong

Gamma rays are very energetic forms of electromagnetic radiation, so when they collide with some molecule in the body, the molecule will be damaged or destroyed. Some molecules are more important than others, but there are some which can potentially cause a lot of trouble if they are damaged, particularly genetic material, which may be altered into a form that leads to cancer.

To see the apecies of the lung. In a regular PA view of the chest the clavicles and ribs are in the way, sometimes shadowing stuff. So an apical view or lordotic view is taken so they are not superimposed.

Radium plays an important role in medicine, in the form of radon gas which is used as a cancer treatment.

X-ray machines can detect the shape of money and with the metal strip in most higher denominations it would be very easy to identify

Primary rays are the best to penetrate

Low wavelength

Radiographers and radiologists, and scientists.

The Electrical Review in 1896 published X-rays of a man, made by Tesla, with X-ray tubes of his own design. They appeared at the same time as when Roentgen announced his discovery of X-rays. Tesla never attempted to proclaim priority. Roentgen congratulated Tesla on his sophisticated X-ray pictures, and Tesla even wrote Roentgen's name on one of his films. He experimented with shadowgraphs similar to those that later were to be used by Wilhelm Rontgen when he discovered X-rays in 1895. Tesla's countless experiments included work on a carbon button lamp, on the power of electrical resonance, and on various types of lightning. Tesla invented the special vacuum tube which emitted light to be used in photography.

Yes

penetrating it

I dont specifically know what chemical it is, but x-ray film developing solution is used to develop an x-ray. Just like with photographs, an x-ray is a picture taken on a big piece of film (it is loaded into the board you stand in front of to get an x-ray), and then the 'picture' is snapped, and the film has to be developed in a dark room, where you dip the x-ray in a developing solution for a few minutes and then you can see the picture (in this case your bones). before an x-ray is developed its just a big black piece of film, and just like with a camera, if you expose it to light before it has been developed, it is ruined. hope this answered your question
