X-Ray

The short answer is it depends. The fee can vary greatly depending on where you get it done and what the negotiated cost is with your insurance company. In most cases a hospital will charge you more because they often have facility fees. A client of mine had two MRIs doen this year. One (at a hospital) cost over $4900 AFTER the network discounts. One (at a brand new free-standing facility) cost $900 AFTER the discounts. If you ask before you have it done you MAY get the amount they bill the insurance company but it is next to impossible to get the amount the insurance company will allow until after it is done and billed.

Marie curie has not gone to war because of the amount of radiology she studied every single day with her husband Pierre in a abandon shed 2 miles away from where she lived.

what kind of relevant experience do you have in the x-ray tech

Put it in front of the x ray machine then hit scan.

False. For some bands of radio waves the atmosphere is transparent.

Radio waves can penetrate to the ground. That's why we have radio telescopes on the Earth.

yes, visible rays have wave length from 7000-4000 and X-rays have 10-0.1 in angstroms

Of course they do! They have to so that they dont send out illegal things or bad stufff!

The penetrating power of an x-ray depends on its frequency. "Soft" x-rays, such as as used in most medical applications would find a good-zized bit of rubber opaque, so if Baby somehow swallows an eraser, it'll show up. "Hard" x-rays, like those used to examine steel girders, wouldn't even see rubber as a faint shadow.

The amount of material x-rayed also makes a difference. Lead is famously dense, but a thin sheet of lead foil would be more transparent than a thick slice of modelling clay.

X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 10 to 0.01 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (3 × 1016 Hz to 3 × 1019 Hz) and energies in the range 120 eV to 120 keV. They are shorter in wavelength than UV rays. In many languages, X-radiation is called Roentgen radiation, after Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, who is generally credited as their discoverer, and who had named them X-rays to signify an unknown type of radiation.[3]:1-2

X-rays from about 0.12 to 12 keV (10 to 0.10 nm wavelength), are classified as "soft" X-rays, and from about 12 to 120 keV (0.10 to 0.010 nm wavelength) as "hard" X-rays, due to their penetrating abilities.

Hard X-rays can penetrate solid objects, and their largest use is to take images of the inside of objects in diagnostic radiography and crystallography. As a result, the term X-ray is metonymically used to refer to a radiographic image produced using this method, in addition to the method itself. By contrast, soft X-rays can hardly be said to penetrate matter at all; for instance, the attenuation length of 600 eV (~ 2 nm) x-rays in water is less than 1 micrometer[2] X-rays are a form of ionizing radiation, and exposure to them can be a health hazard.

The distinction between X-rays and gamma rays has changed in recent decades. Originally, the electromagnetic radiation emitted by X-ray tubes had a longer wavelength than the radiation emitted by radioactive nuclei (gamma rays).[4] So older literature distinguished between X- and gamma radiation on the basis of wavelength, with radiation shorter than some arbitrary wavelength, such as 10−11 m, defined as gamma rays.[5] However, as shorter wavelength continuous spectrum "X-ray" sources such as linear accelerators and longer wavelength "gamma ray" emitters were discovered, the wavelength bands largely overlapped. The two types of radiation are now usually distinguished by their origin: X-rays are emitted by electrons outside the nucleus, while gamma rays are emitted by the nucleus

No, they are not. X-rays have a higher energy than UV radiation, and they have the potential to do more damage to tissue.

a grid is a device placed in front of the image receptor which only allows xrays to travel directly through from the tube and prevent xrays which have been "scattered" from passing through to the image. This gives a much clearer resulting image. Grids are generally only used on thicker body parts where scattered xrays are more of an issue

Different types of electromagnetic waves provide different kinds of information. Specifically, black holes will emit large amounts of x-rays.

Abnormal results may show gallstones, tumors, or cholesterol polyps (a tumor growing from the lining that is usually noncancerous). Typically stones will "float" or move around as the patient changes position, whereas tumors.

ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays would all do that

The only risk associated with chest x ray is minimal exposure to radiation, particularly for pregnant women and children.

No, ultra sound and urine test do.

Wavelength. The shorter the wave (= the higher the frequency) the greater the penetration.

X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen, a German physicist, in November of 1895, roughly. He was testing the properties of cathode tubes when he noticed that a bench about three feet away was emitting a strange glow. He guessed that the tube was emitting energy beams that penetrated the heavy black paper he had secured around the tube, were traveling at least as far as the bench, and reacting with the metal the bench was made of, creating the strange glow.

X-rays tend to be stronger than radio waves. Rays are normally stronger because of the type of beam not a wide spreading wave and can maintain it's strength. As for a wave, since it spreads farther and longer it loses it's power/strength.

An "optical" telescope would naturally collect light from optical wavelengths, meaning visible light from ~400-800nm.
