X-Ray

87.49 ICD -9 (Routine) , or 87.49( Non-Routne) such as ER, outpatient, or other visit - othe chest xray ( certain locations : brochus, diapham, heart, lung, mediastinum, trachea)

They Felt for the Break. And it was Very painful. A broken bone pretty much Shows you what it is. The really Hard part is determining just Where the break is, and what needs to be done to set it. That's why people often had deformed limbs even after setting. it was almost impossible to Feel just where and how the two pieces of bone fit together, and to work them back so the bone could set into a seamless whole again.

myelogram, but being replaced by CT scan and MRI's

Yes. He did but it was a accident.

It just so happend that he was just building something totally different and then he nosiest that when he put his hand behind it and BOOM he discovered the X-ray because he saw his bone!

it varies state by state

Light waves and X-rays are both forms of electromagnetic energy. X-rays, however, have higher energy (higher frequency and shorter wavelength) than (visible) light.

yes

Radiation similar to X-rays includes gamma rays and ultraviolet (UV) rays. Both gamma rays and X-rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation, with gamma rays typically having higher energy and shorter wavelengths than X-rays. UV rays, while lower in energy than X-rays, are also part of the electromagnetic spectrum and can cause similar effects, such as ionization in biological tissues. However, X-rays and gamma rays are primarily used in medical imaging and treatment, while UV rays are commonly associated with skin effects and sun exposure.

You actually don't need to do this. You only need to warm up the x-ray tube if you're going to perform x-rays, to prevent anode pitting.

Two reasons. Firstly, Safety. Fetus have a higher rate of cellular division than the average human being. A damaged gene while still developing can cause birth defects. Secondly, X-rays really only give an idea of bone structure and generally aren't live. It X-rays don't give as clear an indication on lung and heart development.

While Crick, Wilkins and Franklin all used X-ray diffraction to try and decipher the molecule of DNA the best work was done by Rosalind Franklin with here B-51 diffraction " picture " of the double helix.

Considering it uses radiation, then yes it can cause cancer. Only under extreme exposer will it do that though. Getting X-rays is harmless unless you do it for hours continuously, well then you'll just die.

Yes and No. Tumours can show up X-rays simply as a mass which shouldn't be there. There is no way or not to tell if it is cancer from a standard X-ray. However if anything suspicous is seen, futher tests are normally ordered which will give the doctors more details. Lung Cancer is often found on a routine chest X-ray and appears as a "suspicous shadow" that warrants futher investigation.

That would be the Projection

X-Rays normally detect foil because it is metal.

to find broken ,or cracked bones, or to find bad things.

In everyday life, there is no need to take special precautions against x-rays.

If you are getting a dental x-ray be sure to wear the apron shield that the dental technician will give you. Even though it is called a "lead apron," it is loaded with tin to block x-rays.

If you doctor suggests that you have a medical x-ray and you have had the same area x-rayed in the recent past, tell the doctor and help her determine whether the older x-ray will provide the information needed.

If you are working with an x-ray producing machine, follow the established protective procedures, avoid shortcuts, and maximize your distance from the x-ray machine when it is emitting x-rays. Use shielding (usually lead, tin or plastic) and work practices as specified by your radiation safety officer.

In general, if you work with a source of x-rays, minimize your time of exposure, maximized your distance from the x-ray source, use appropriate shielding

Computerized tomography (or CT scan or CT or CAT scan) is the medical term meaning process of taking a series of x-rays of a body part or area in depth.

You can go to training and certificate programs schools for around a year if you want to become an X ray tech.

A two view chest x-ray series is not a significant dose of radiation and would most likely have no effect on the fetus. The greater the distance between you and your son at the moment of x-raying then the less exposure to radiation for you and your baby. Your exposure would be greatly reduced (90+ %) if you were wearing lead sheilding at the time. Consider that the X-ray beam is fairly directional with much of the beam's energy is directed toward the desired target - which is not you. This minor exposure will almost certainly not create a problem for the unborn child. It is vulnerable, but it is protected within you to a degree, and it is a very small target.

when your child is at the doctors getting the shot.. you should tell your child that it's only going to be a couple seconds and when your child is finished.. reward him/her for doing a good job (wether it took 5 minutes or 5 seconds), him/her got the shot. also hold your child's hand and make sure wherever your child is getting the shot is nice and relaxed.. hope this helps.
