How many RADS in a chest X-ray?
A typical chest X-ray delivers a radiation dose of about 0.1 to 0.2 millisieverts (mSv), which is equivalent to approximately 10 to 20 microsieverts (µSv). This is a very small amount of radiation, comparable to the exposure one receives from natural background radiation over a few days. The specific dose can vary based on factors such as the equipment used and the patient's size.
Are microwaves as carcinogenic as X-rays?
yes, they are the same because they (microwaves) also use too much radiation. so be careful. hope this answer functioned...
PS: this is true, I asked my father, he is a doctor
What does a smartphone look like on x-ray?
It depends on what the smartphone is made of. Generally they look like a inverted picture.
Who was inventor of the x ray machine?
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen was the first scientist to observe and record X-rays
William Coolidge.invented the X-Ray tube.
Robert Ledley invented Diagnostic X-Ray systems.
The Cathode Ray Tube was invented by
Kálmán Tihanyi. Unknown to anyone including, Kálmán Tihanyi, Cathode Ray tubes emit xray radiation.
A German inventor
Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen discovered this in 1895 by accident, when some photographic plates near his work area began to glow when he turned on the cathode ray tube he was experimenting with.
Mr. Rontgen figured out how to use these invisible rays, he dubbed the x rays to make images that are still in use today. The Machines he used he did not invent, as he just used Cathode Ray Tubes you could by on the open market. He did research and draw instructions on how someone could use this tube to create X-ray images of the internal anatomy.
Conrad Rontgen called them x-rays because x is the unknown used in algebra and since these invisible rays where unknown he figured x-rays was a good temporary name for them, he thought someone would give them a better name later.
Petite curies are small x-ray laboratories. The term is a reference to the amount of radiation involved.
How did Watson Crick use Franklins x-ray to figure out the structure of DNA?
Watson and Crick used the X-ray diffraction patterns to determine that DNA was a helical molecule. Withe the use of models, they built what we know as the DNA Double-Helix.
It is possible to determine if a child's long bone is growing by examining an x-ray of the?
epiphyseal plate
Electromagnetic radiation from the sun covers the entire spectrum including what we commonly call sunlight and X-rays. We often refer to the term sunlight to mean light in the visible spectrum, though it can be thought of as including infrared and ultraviolet light. Does sunlight contain X-rays? That depends on how you define sunlight.

How do x rays help diagnose pain?
These studies can detect abnormalities in the structure of bones or joints, and differentiate between healthy and diseased tissues.
What do you call someone who analyses x-ray for diagnosis?
A radiologist is a specialist in the study of radiography.
Which parts of body can be imaged by the X-rays and which one can not?
Your face, the only exception is your dad.
In chest X-ray how much percent radiation is used?
I don't really understand the question, but here goes. Only 1% of the energy used is given off as xrays. The rest is given off as heat. That 1% then travels through the body to the xray film plate or IR plate. The amount of radiation the patient receives is less than if he were to walk out to his car in the parking lot on a sunny day. It is not that much.
What is off focus radiation in operation of x-ray tube?
Off- focus also known as "extrafocal" radiation is produced by electrons impacting the anode outside the focal spot. This occurs when electrons striking the focal spot bounce off and are attracted back to the anode outside the focal spot region.
Do xray machines see through credit cards?
They will show the embedded microchip - and also wipe the card clean ! X-rays are simply high-powered radio waves.
