Yes, the morning sun is safe to be in until around 10am. From 10am-4pm is the most dangerous time for burns and possible skin cancer. After 4pm the sun is safer. Use sunblock of at least SPF 15 when out in the sun during 10am-4pm and wear protective clothing.
For bone age determination explain why an x-ray of the hand and wrist are taken?
x-ray of hand or wrist is taken to determine the age of bone because different bones are developed at diff. age or they can fuse with each other at diff. age.........by lookin to the x-ray of a preson his age can be know
Not very well. If the lead is a thin sheet and the x-ray source is strong, the x-rays go right through. X-ray shields are made of lead and are designed to be thick enough.
Can X-rays of the chest cause a rash to the area?
A simple chest x-ray would not cause a rash. It would take a radiation dose much, much higher to cause something like that. It would be best to consult your physician though as it could be another symptom to the illness that required an x-ray in the first place.
Why is it important to have oil inside of tube housing in X-ray production?
Oil is used as the x-ray tubes cooling system.
Why does x rays light get farther into your bodies than ultraviolet?
Xrays have smaller wavelengths, and can only been seen from the shadows it makes on xray paper.
X-rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet, thus making them smaller photons, hard x-radiation has a wavelength around .01 nanometers and ultraviolet has a wavelength around 10 nanometers at the shortest wavelength. This means it is easier for the smaller x-rays to penetrate the human body than ultraviolet wavelengths. 1000 nanometers = 1 micron, 1000000 microns = 1 millimeter
Why are x rays used to diagnose cervical spondylosis?
X rays reveal the presence of osteophytes, stenosis, constricted space between the vertebrae, and misalignment in the cervical spine
Why X-ray and gamma rays overlap over a certain range?
We have named them a gamma ray and Xray because they get produced by two different methods. So it is not all overlapping. This particular method produces em radiations with some frequency range. Same time someother method could also produce some frequency fallen in the other range. So it is natural.
How are x rays harmful to the earth?
The problem is that X-rays are a form of ionizing radiation. When normal light hits an atom, it can't change the atom in any significant way. But when an X-ray hits an atom, it can knock electrons off the atom to create an ion, an electrically-charged atom. Free electrons then collide with other atoms to create more ions.=An ion's electrical charge can lead to unnatural chemical reactions inside cells. Among other things, the charge can break DNA chains. A cell with a broken strand of DNA will either die or the DNA will develop a mutation. If a lot of cells die, the body can develop various diseases. If the DNA mutates, a cell may become cancerous, and this cancer may spread. If the mutation is in a sperm or an egg cell, it may lead to birth defects. Because of all these risks, doctors use X-rays sparingly today.=
How hard is it to become a X-ray tech?

you must be dedicated and do ongoing continuing education
It is very hard work but rewarding

What is wet reading in x-raying?
"Wet reading" is an old term. It meant that the image was to be read by a doctor immediately after development, before even allowing it to dry, back in the days when x-rays were developed in a dark room by dipping the films into chemicals by hand. Today, some older doctors still use the term. It just means to have it read immediately. In most cases, it's a "stat call report."
What does x-ray ask caveman to do the next time he finds something?
x-ray asked caveman to give him what ever he finds the next time
You had an x ray and did not know you were pregnant?
You should be fine as long as they made you wear a protection vest
a double x-ray beam takes pictures of the spine, hip, or entire body. It takes about 20 minutes to do, is painless, and exposes the patient to only a small amount of radiation--about one-fiftieth that of a chest x ray
There is no such thing as an x-ray mutagen. X-rays aremutagens. Mutagens cause changes to the genetic material in living cells, thus sometimes producing changes in the offspring of those sells.
How many roentgens would one receive with an x-ray exposure of 0.02?
An exposure of 0.02 what? No units are given, so conversion to roentgens cannot be made.
Do arteries show up on normal x ray?
Arteries probably won't show up on normal x-rays because x-rays are supposed to be used to show the bones; I am not completely sure what to say though.
X-rays travel with the velocity of?
X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, and therefore travel at the speed of light. About 300,000 km/sec.
