What does broken displaced ribs mean?

The ribs are broken and not in their normal place in the body.

What does X ray consist of and how harm full is it?

An x-ray is basically a camera, however, instead of using visible light for exposure it uses x-rays which are more energetic than typical light particles, this allows different material to be penetrated, the xray exposes the film the way that light would however since different matter within the body absorbs the xrays differently when they are exposed internal images are revealed.

Why is a x-ray machine a form of electromagnetic energy?

It is a form of electromagnetic energy because it uses special light rays to see through your skin/body to see your bones. It's heat and light is what makes it an excellent example of electromagnetic energy.

How many X-ray apparatus companies are there?

The 1997 Economic Census reported 154 establishments for the irradiation apparatus industry, an increase of 17 percent from 1992.

Can pregnant women get orbital x rays?

Pregnant women and women who could possibly be pregnant should only receive orbital x rays when absolutely necessary

Is an x ray a gamma ray?

No. They are two different rays.

Where does an electron go after passing through target nucleus in x ray production?

Asking where an electron goes is one of those questions that can only be answered probabilistically. You'd have to solve for the expectation value.

Do you get covered up in a lead apron for a shoulder X ray?

Yes. Without it, your shoulder would look weird and crappy

Does alcohol show up on x-rays?

Can X-rays see through tin containers?

X-rays can penetrate tin. Lead is usually used for x-ray shielding.

Are x rays safe for young children?

There is a risk of getting radiation exposure from x rays. This exposure can increase the risk of gene mutations and cancer. Overall, x rays are safe for young children, but should avoid over exposure and unnecessary exposure when able.

What does a distinct horizontal white line on an X-ray of a bone mean?

It could mean many things, but probably is just an anomaly showing a small thick portion in the bone. No one's bones are perfectly smooth and any ridge or line on the bone will cause it to be slightly thicker, therefore more "radio-opaque" (less x-rays get through), which results in a lighter area on the exposure of the film. The simplest answer is that it represents more mineral in the path of the x-rays Obviously if there are some clinical symptoms there could be more to it!

Dry and wet films in x rays imaging?

Traditionally, X-Ray images have been recorded using silver-based film, which needs conventional wet processing in total darkness. The film is heavily silver-laden (much more than in normal camera film for snapshot photography), and is thus expensive. In recent times, digital methods of recording X-Ray images have been developed, which give instant results, easily stored in IT systems, just as normal digital photography does.

What is the X-ray apparatus industry?

Firms in this industry engage primarily in manufacturing irradiation apparatus and tubes for applications such as medical diagnostic, medical therapeutic, industrial, research, and scientific evaluation
