X-Ray

My guess would be that you can't because of the difference in wave length between x-rays and the visual spectrum.

x-rays were discovered in Germany in 1895 y the German physicist Wilhelm Rontgen

Gamma radiation consists of high energy waves similar to x-rays.

X-rays are only possibly dangerous to the person being x-rayed.

The possible danger from the x-rays CAN'T be passed on.

We often see some kind of electromagnets used to spin the cathode of an X-ray tube.

Xrays can be used for diagnosing lots of problems. They are a standard in most hospitals. Radiation is not good no matter what, but the benefits outweigh the risks and the amount of radiation is so small that you get more radiation walking in the sun in summer.

That would be lead.

The type of energy used in x-ray machines are called x-rays. It is the same as visible light in the sense that they are both electro-magnetic radiation but x-rays are at a higher frequency and use higher energies.

When you something on your body gets hard and it is not a bone.

Radiography

it would be quite easy to joke about this question but that would be lame. my brother is an x ray technician and in his opinion modern x ray machines are essential though i believe that the way to examine a person if they had broken their legs arms etc would be to ask them if they can move them. then feel for any abnormalities.

Yes it's x-ray. But the energy is lower than in the "rest of body" x-ray.

On many patients xrays are performed on a daily basis when in the hospital. When a critical patient comes to a hospital, often multiple chest xrays are taken within hours. The real answer is that there is little issue with taking xrays, the problem occurs when it is done much much more frequently.

X rays were invented by the mountain Monkes of Nepal, whom used a barley leaf to xray Buddahs Body.

The first semi-specialized dental x-ray machine in America was made by the Victor Electric Company out of Chicago in 1913. Victor first advertised the unit in the April 1913 edition of Oral Hygiene. Victor later merged with GE. The unit was a modified medical x-ray. The first specialized dental x-ray was produced by the the Edwards Instrument Company out of Indianapolis. The Edwards unit may even predate the Victor x-ray but I haven't been able to confirm it. Edwards Instrument became Edwards X-Ray Corp in 1919.

The Vulcan Coil Company based in L.A. had a specialized unit in 1915. Several manufacturers followed by 1916.

what is apicopleural in the lung

yes, if the doctors are careful, they will find it, there is probably no other way to pinpoint the location of it either

kvp- peak kilovoltage controls the radiographic contrast of an x-ray image. on some x-ray machines (older ones) the kvp's have to be manually set according to the measurements of the subject being x-rayed, in order for the x-ray to come out right.

Certain brain changes occur with habitual canabis use which will show up on MRI. They are similar to changes seen in scitsophrenics so its worth admitting your habit before having the scan to prevent ending up in a pyschiatric unit!

An arthrogram is an x-ray of a joint with contrast.

Purpose of a bone scan:

1. to detect broken, damaged, or fractured bone that might not be seen using x- rays

2. to detect bone cancer or detect if cancer from another part of the body has spread to the bones

3. to help discover where and why you have pain in the bones
