Answer... There are cancers that secrete hormones that can affect bone metabolism, just like normal hormones. There are also some treatments that can have an effect on hormones such as supressing male hormones [in males] to combat prostate cancer. The cancers that secrete hormones that would effect bone metabolism are pretty rare, however... The best thing would be for your practitioner to refer you to an endocrinologist who can order appropriate blood tests to determine the cause of your osteoporosis... And who can manage the condition. Hope things work out well for you!

To absorb the x-rays. Dentists and dental technicians might x-ray several people each day and the long term effect of the exposure could kill them if they didn't protect themselves.

its

because lead has high atomic number: 82, and it has high density which makes it resistent to radiation. that is why you have to wear lead apron.

Gamma ray

You need to be properly trained to be an x-ray technician. Normally, you need to attend college for this training.

Diagnostic imaging for medical and dental field. Security.

There would be no reason to "clear the lungs" for a chest x-ray since the purpose of the chest x-ray is to evaluate the condition of the lungs. If something shows up on the chest x-ray that needs to be treated, it isn't something that you could do yourself beforehand. Depending on what is in the lungs, antibiotics, steroids, dialysis, breathing treatments, and endotracheal tube placement can improve the condition the lungs appear to be in when an x-ray is taken.

Yes. If ever pregnant, avoid x-rays during the first trimester.

characteristick x-ray are those which is emmited by the electron of target atom due to transition from higher energy state to lower energy state,while continuous x-ray are those which is emmited by the atoms present in a material.

X-Rays are electromagnetic waves with a high frequency (lying between UV radiation and gamma radiation on the EM spectrum) and as a result, have a very small wavelength (on the atomic level). Because of this high frequency, they carry high amounts of energy, and have a high penetrating power. X-Rays are ionising, meaning they can cause cancer in humans if exposure is high enough.

The two main types are "hard" X-Rays and "soft" X-Rays. The differences are, "ard" X-Rays have a higher frequency, lower wavelength, carry more energy and have a higher penetrating power then "soft" X-Rays. In an X-Ray machine, an aluminium filter is often used to block the "soft" X-Rays, as they are more easily absorbed by the patient and are more dangerous because of this.

Yes, you should have an abscessed tooth either removed (or a root canal) done. It depends on what the dentist says. First, the dentist will put you on antibiotics to be sure the abscess is cleared up and then do the procedure. Most dentists prefer to save your teeth if at all possible so discuss the root canal as an option.

It means object to image receptor distance. It's the distance/space between the thing being x rayed and the image receptor (the plate that absorbs the x-rays and forms the image)

MRI technologist, are individuals who have usually worked in the field of Radiology for at least five to six years, most have on the job training after working in X-ray and/or CT, and can expect to earn up to $30.00 to $35.00 dollars an hour.

X-rays will "expose" X-ray film. That's how imaging (medical or otherwise) is accomplished using X-rays.

We know that X-rays are high energy electromagnetic rays, and they are a form of penetrating radiation. X-ray film is photographic film, and this is film which will undergo chemical changes when exposed to light. X-rays and visible (optical) light are both electromagnetic radiation, and exposing film to X-rays will "leave an image" on the film, depending on the conditions of exposure.

When using X-rays, which have a great ability to penetrate different materials, we enclose the film in a "film pack" which is positioned in such a way that it is "behind" the subject or object to be X-rayed. The source emits the X-rays, they pass through the object under scrutiny, and through the film. (The film is shielded from optical light by the packaging, but the X-rays pass right through it.) The film, which has been exposed to the X-rays, is then developed to yield images.

We might note that modern imaging is moving to a "digital" X-ray with the elimination of the film and the substitution of an X-ray sensitive "grid" or "screen" behind the subject. This makes images quickly available (there is no delay as with developing film) and allows for immediate digital storage (with no "conversion" from film to digital format).

It is a really good idea to cover reproductive organs during X-rays, and we do. Lead blankets are always available in the X-ray suite, and the staff knows where to put them and why.

The reason why astronomers send things in space and not set them on a mountain, is because distortion becomes minimum. anything that goes in space will capture a better signal and picture of everything.

no x-ray or gamma ray radiation can be stopped or diluted by air. if that was the truth, a greater portion of the radiation would be stopped (absorbed, destroyed ) by atmospheric air in Chernobil's incidence. Radiation from Ukraine reached to Greece, Sweden and to many other places!

A physician's office, an outpatient radiology facility or hospital radiology department. In some cases, particularly for patients who cannot get out of bed, a portable chest x ray may be taken.
