X-Ray

That would usually not be required.

Basically its the same stuff - but you can wrap it differently because it will never be exposed to visible light (in normal usage).

You can't see X-rays, so we don't really have a name for their "color" other than saying they're "X-ray colored".

You might be asking how one could create a color X-ray. One way would be to choose three different wavelengths within the X-ray band and assign each a different color that we CAN see (red, green, and blue) and then combine the image at each wavelength to form a composite color image. This sort of thing is done in Astronomy all the time (with various spectral ranges being reassigned to visual; often the wavelengths chosen correspond to lines in the spectra of particular species).

anode should warm up otherwise target get heat unevenly

No - it depends on when the picture is taken (before or after swelling has been reduced) and the angle of the picture. If the fracture is small enough and in a spot not covered by the picture, it can easily be missed on a first pass. Swelling with stress fractures can often mask it as well, and it's common for doctors to let the swelling go down some before pictures are taken. X-rays are taken by placing the patient in standard positions for the best viewing angle of the bone being X-rayed; however, that doesn't always mean it's the optimum angle for all injuries.

The only way to know is if the pain and swelling continue past the first week. If the pain and swelling continue past the first week and it's still bruised, they can take another X-ray with contrast dye if needed to help illuminate the area of the potential fracture to help it show up better.

Down syndrome is caused by a genetic abnormality in Chromosome 21. It is highly unlikely that X-Ray exposure causes genetic abnormalities such as this.

However, X-Rays are not recommended while pregnant.

Dense metals such as lead block x-rays. A much thicker layer of concrete will also work. X-rays can show internal structures because the denser materials block them, leaving a shadow on photographic film or fluoroscope screens.

B/c a doctor has decided that the advantage of of having the information that an x-ray can give is worth the tiny added risk of having the x-ray.

X-rays will "Fog" photographic plates. That means the plates act as if 'exposed' to light. If the X-rays are intense enough, the plates will appear to be totally exposed.

Yes, X-rays at not a form of matter. They are a form of electromagnetic energy.

The symptoms of a broken toe can be very similar to that of a badly sprained toe. Usually an X-ray will show up a break. Either way, your toe will feel very sore and swollen. Apply an icepack to it for five minutes every now and then and avoid walking on it for a while. Surely your parents will believe you if you no longer go places you would normally want to. It probably isn't broken, but sprained and you will still feel very uncomfortable with a sprain. If things haven't improved in a week you should get it looked at again. Take care!

Bank notes can't just disappear from airport x-ray machine.

This point, the place where the electron beam strikes the anode, is generally called the target.

No, getting an x-ray does not hurt. It can be a bit uncomfortable if you are alread in pain due to an injury that requires the x-ray, or if you have to hold a position, and it tends to be a bit cold.

it is a mammogram uses xrays and is cheaper and detects cysts etc
and their exact locations

sonography or breast ultrasounds can detect if the cyts is a solid or liquid
and can get right inside of the cyst found on the mammogram

both exams work well together making it helpful in the diagnosis

if your doctor has ordered either it is best to follow orders

Yes it's safe. However, if the piece of jewelry is on the part of the body being examined, it will appear on the image. So for example, if you were having a neck x-ray done and you were wearing a necklace, the necklace would show up on the image and this could make it difficult for the reporting doctor to read.

The x-ray technician will ask you to remove any jewelry that may interfere with the exam.

On 8 Nov, 1895, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (accidentally) discovered an image cast from his cathode ray generator, projected far beyond the possible range of the cathode rays (now known as an electron beam). Further investigation showed that the rays were generated at the point of contact of the cathode ray beam on the interior of the vacuum tube, that they were not deflected by magnetic fields, and they penetrated many kinds of matter.

A week after his discovery, Rontgen took an X-ray photograph of his wife's hand which clearly revealed her wedding ring and her bones. The photograph electrified the general public and aroused great scientific interest in the new form of radiation. Röntgen named the new form of radiation X-radiation (X standing for "Unknown"). Hence the term X-rays (also referred as Röntgen rays, though this term is unusual outside of Germany).

I think that a second opinion with an MRI might be something to consider.
