Who should not get x-rays?

This can be a tricky question especially so broad of a question. Regular plain film xrays....most anything in the head or face because more than likely the doctor will order a CT anyway. Unless you have been in a major accident and are having problems breathing refuse rib xrays. Reason #1 a regular chest xray (cxr) will show if somthing is wrong and #2 nothing can be done for broken ribs except for a bandage. Another xray to avoid is the tailbone xray....The doctor wont set it, you wont get a cast...YOu will get a doughnut and pain meds which is the same thing you would get if you didnt have the xray.

Another exam i never understood was a chest xray on a pregnant woman to check for tuburculosis. I personally believe all pegnant women should refuse xrays unless there is trauma but if they are checking for TB it really is pointless because if she has it she cant be treated for it until after she gives birth anyway so there is really no point.

If I were an inpatient I would refuse to having a daily cxr and opt for one every other day.

Can an x Ray machine see tampons?

Yes, it's ok, it's private stuff and doctors see it all the time, it's ok.

Can you have an X-ray with a plaster cast on?

You can have an X-ray with a plaster cast on, however the image won't be as clear as it could be without one. It creates more layers that the radiation needs to penetrate to create a clear image for the Radiologist to look at. Having a plaster cast on will create a cloudy and unreadable image.

Do airport x-ray machines see marijuana?

It is a bit thorough but it's quick and let's you be carefree. Buy a sharpie and take off the cap. It is thicker than most pen caps and has no holes. Next, stuff as much chronic as you can in there, leaving about a quarter to a half inch of space. Next, get some paper and put a little in there...the cap should be ALMOST full. Now here's the trick. Take the pen cap and scrape some deodorant into the hole. Smooth it over. Take a lighter and melt the deodorant briefly. This should seal the end like wax and wallah! Put it in a day planner or something inconspicuous. Do not put drugs in your toiletries bag ever. I've had the 'random search' twice while flying and that's all they look into usually. Don't be a hipster either. If you look like Stoney bologna you'll get messed with. If you're worried about the old spice messing with the flavor of your favorite bubonic chronic, it really isn't a big deal...it might a little. That's why I put paper in there don't let deodorant touch your stash. If you want to fly with more...like an eighth or a quarter then you should by some hair glue that people use to mold their fo-hawks. Empty out the bottom and place it in there in the bag. Then put the hair glue back on top. Smooth it over, put it in you biggest bag and then check the bag do not use carry on. I'm a 27 year old business owner that flys a lot and this works for me.

What is the difference between radio wave and x ray?

X-ray telescopes have to be sent into space away from the earths atmosphere and take in X-ray radiation into their multilayer mirrors and the ones sent by balloons are collecting the more penetrating X-rays but if its by shuttle they detect the softer x-rays. the x-rays are converted into a image. whereas the radio telescopes can be used from the ground as radio signals travel to the ground but they have to be huge massive things to collect the signals having a wide range and they collect the data in sound and make them into images by using the light from the universe.

What is the frequency of X-ray waves?

There is a system of formal designation of the region of the electromagnetic

spectrum that we know how to generate and modulate for communication.

The naming system differentiates among arbitrary sections of "radio" based

on slices of decades (10 times) of frequency and wavelength. You'll recognize

some of the abbreviations, like VHF and UHF:

Very Low Frequency (VLF)

3 - 30 KHz

100,000 - 10,000 meters

Low Frequency (LF)

30 - 300 KHz

10,000 - 1,000 meters

Medium Frequency (MF)

300 KHz - 3 MHz

1,000 - 100 meters

High Frequency (HF)

3 - 30 MHz

100 - 10 meters

Very High Frequency (VHF)

30 - 300 MHz

10 - 1 meter

Ultra High Frequency (UHF)

300 MHz - 3 GHz

1 meter - 10 cm

Super High Frequency (SHF)

3 - 30 GHz

10 - 1 cm

Extreme High Frequency (EHF)

30 - 300 GHz

1 cm - 1 mm

What can x-rays show in the diagnosis of pancreatitis?

Computed tomography scans (CT scans) of the abdomen may reveal the inflammation and fluid accumulation of pancreatitis, and may also be useful when complications like an abscess or a pseudocyst are suspected.

Who invented x ray photographs?

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen is usually credited as the discoverer of X-rays because he was the first to systematically study them.

Does ultraviolet light carry more energy than infrared radiation?

Yes. Radiations on the "red" end of the spectrum, such as radio, microwave, and infrared, have markedly less energy than visible light. Frequencies on the "purple" end, on the other hand, such as ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma, have considerably more.

What has the longest wavelength-light waves x-rays or radio waves?

Radio Waves are in the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum and have wavelengths between several hundred feet (AM Radio) to fractions of an inch (Microwave communications).

X-Rays are high energy photons at the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum, with wavelengths shorter than visible light, measured in nanometers to picometers.

Color wise, Red is the longest visible, while Violet is the shortest wavelength of visible light.

There are many graphical charts of the electromagnetic spectrum that show where the various waves fit in relation to each other, these can be found on an internet image search.

Can airport x-ray machines damage camera film?

It depends on which kind. The small ones that you put your cary-ons through to get to the gate usually won't, but the big ones that you put your checked bags through probably will destroy your film. If you are concerned about your camera and film, ask for a manual search of the affected bags.

Which has the highest frequency gamma rays X-rays visible light radio waves?

Almost. They are shorter than radio waves, and they are the next order up from radio waves, but they have different properties in terms of interaction with materials. So right idea, wrong classification.

What is the similarities between X-rays and visible light?

Both beams seem to have wave/particle duality.

------------------------------------------

If we consider in a simple way the think, a focus electron beam behave somehow like a light beam even if it is a particle beam. Thus diffraction figures can be observed on a screen if the electron beam passes through a very small gap.

The great difference is that the equivalent wavelength of the electron beam seems to be very small with respect to light beam. The observed wavelength of an electron beam depends on electrons energy, being in general of the order of 1 nm (one meter part out of one billion) while green light has a wavelength of the order of 540 nm.

If we look more in deep the phenomenon, in quantum mechanics both a light beam and an electron beam are particle beams, being photons the light particles. They are in any case particle that do not resemble small rigid balls, but having quite exotic properties, like generating interference and, in case of photons, to be at light speed in any possible situation.

The basic difference is that electrons are fermions, with spin equal to 0.5 and a finite rest mass, while photons are bosons, with zero spin and zero rest mass. This difference causes the macroscopic difference in their behaviours.

Wonder mail for x ray specs in blue mystery dungeon?

you unlock the sky stair way by means of the spinda cafe .you talk to a Pokemon left from the entrance of the cafe and it will give you the mission given by scizor it can be any Pokemon and there are many missions obtained this way so try many times to find the one you want.you must have saved scizor from crevice cave first

How do the frequencies of infrared visible and ultraviolet light compare?

Visible light imagery only reveals what is reflected from the Earth's surface and atmosphere.

Infrared imagery detects the differences in thermal energy, which are used to map either cloud cover or surface temperatures. They allow meteorologists to determine the temperature of a cloud.

What they have in common:

Weather satellites used both of these equipment to observe the atmosphere.

Are X-rays taken on plane film or plain film?

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.

What is a dosimeter?

A dosimeter is an instrument that measures the amount of hazardous material to which something or someone has been cumulatively exposed. The most common is the radiation dosimeter, which measures a person's or object's exposure to radiation.

Why were X-rays invented?

Answers

The X-ray was accidentally invented when Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, a physics professor at Wurzburg, Bavaria, placed his hand in the path of the rays and saw an image of the bones of his hand on the screen.

An x-ray has a wavelength of 1.3A calculate the energy in J of one photon of this radiation?

To calculate the energy of one photon, you can use the formula E = hc/λ, where h is Planck's constant (6.63 x 10^-34 J s), c is the speed of light (3 x 10^8 m/s), and λ is the wavelength in meters. Plugging in the values, the energy of one photon with a wavelength of 1.3 Å (1.3 x 10^-10 m) is approximately 9.59 x 10^-16 J.
