Who discovered radium and later died from the effects of experiments with x rays?
first work with x razs had nikola tesla but he wasn'z verz interested, after that i think Rentgen did.
Why chest x ray taken as posterior to anterior view?
AP view is taken form the front and PA is taken from the back.
Why do people have x Ray photographs taken when x rays are so dangerous?
cuz u can see people disgusting things
An X-ray can go through anything. The question is how much of it does that X-ray have to penetrate? An X-ray is a form of high energy electromagnetic radiation, and it has excellent penetrating power. It is only material with a high density that can shield us against them, and lead is a good example. Concrete is also pretty good, and it's cheap and readily available as a building material.
X-rays come in a range of energies, and some (the higher energy ones) are better at going through stuff than others. X-rays penetrate all things, but go farther into things of lower density. It's a "probability" thing that determines how far X-rays will penetrate. We talk about a half-thickness of a shielding material, and that is the thickness of that material that is required to reduce a given amount of a specific radiation by half. You can see that doubling that amount of shielding will not stop all the radiation, but will still allow a quarter of it to get through.
When chosing a material to shield against X-rays, things with a high density (like lead) will be more effective than less dense materials. Consideration must be given to the source and how it's being used when designing shielding around the X-ray generator.
How much energy does an x-ray carry?
The term "X-ray" refers to the frequency on the spectrum. The energy behind it can be very low, like ones used in the hospital for chest xrays, or they can be very high, like the ones used in the oil industry to check welds on pipes. (BTW the high energy used on pipes is high enough to kill a person. Think like a focused hiroshima)
How one can increase the penetrating power of x-rays?
X-rays can be given increased power to penetrate by increasing their frequency (shortening their wavelength). This is generally accomplished by increasing the operating voltage of the X-ray tube. Higher voltages will accelerate electrons more, and their increased energy will result in more energetic ("harder") X-rays at the target of the anode.
The radiation that is emitted from the x-ray tube and strikes the patient directly is called?
We might call this medical imaging via X-ray, or taking an X-ray. The X-ray machine is aimed directly at the patient, and the incident radiation has a specific target on his/her body.
What must be present to produce x-ray?
X-ray production whenever electrons of high energy strike a heavy metal target, like tungsten or copper. When electrons hit this material, some of the electrons will approach the nucleus of the metal atoms where they are deflected because of there opposite charges. This deflection causes the energy of the electron to decrease, and this decrease in energy then results in forming an x-ray.
What are the normal results from a skull x rays?
Abnormal results may include:. Sinusitis. Tumors. Fractures. disorders that show up as changes in bone structure.
What is the X ray film made of?
X-ray means radiation produced by electrons, subatomic particles that make up atoms.
Humans make x-radiation with devices called 'x-ray tubes.' Basically, it's a vaccum tube with a cathode (a metal plate that *produces* electrons in a vacuum) at one end, and an anode (the same thing, but it *collects* electrons instead) at the other. This produces an electrical current, called the 'beam,' between the two plates.
When the cathode produces electrons, they smack into the anode very, very fast. This knocks the electrons of atoms in the anode (this is usually made of an electrically conductive metal, like molybdenum, copper or tungsten) off the plate, and these *new* electrons can be collected with other machinery tuned to perform whatever task the X-rays are needed for, like radiography and such.
Why are x rays used to diagnose pericarditis?
Blood tests such as LDH and CPK to measure cardiac enzymes and distinguish between a heart attack and pericarditis, as well as a complete blood count (CBC) to look for infection.
How is an x-ray film produced?
X ray film was produced much like the film for visible light. Silver halide suspensions were spread on the backing material.
Because most X-rays pass through the skin and other body tissue, the X-ray strikes the photographic film beneath the area. unlike other body tissues, bones absorb X-rays
How does empyema thoracis show up on X-rays?
On an x ray, empyema thoracis will appear as a cloudy or opaque ar
The "x" is not an abbreviation of another word. It's the "x" from algebra,
which refers to any unknown quantity. Wilhelm Roentgen did not know
what had passed through his hand and accidentally produced an image
of the bones in his hand on a nearby piece of film, and he referred to
whatever it was as "X strahlen" ... German for "X rays" where 'X' means
'unknown'. In Europe X-rays are known as Roentgen rays.
X-Radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of
0.01 to 10 nanometers.
What are the ionisation effects of x rays?
It can damage the tissue or make it malfunction. X rays can damage the embryo also.
Where and why do you use xrays?
You get an xray taken at a hosbital and it is used to see if you have a fractured or broken bone
What is the basic principle of x- ray diffraction?
The idea is that, due to the small wavelength of X-rays, atoms can serve as a diffraction grid - causing diffraction patterns. (If you don't know about diffraction, I suggest you search in the questions for "diffraction", or ask a separate question for diffraction.) Crystals are good for this, because of their regular structure.
X-ray darkroom is a film processing unit for manual and autoprocessor with the room light tight
my question is, what is an X-RAY fish and .. YES you can eat any fish, but, be careful... it might be poisonous
What medical imaging device would be best for precisely locating a tumor within the brain?
A medical imaging device that can be used to locate a tumor in the brain is a MRI. MRI stands for Magnetic resonance imaging and uses radio waves and a magnetic field.
A Davis series X-ray, also known as a Davis series radiograph, is a diagnostic imaging technique used to visualize the spine. It involves taking multiple X-ray images of the spine in different positions, such as bending forward, backward, and sideways. This series of X-rays helps healthcare providers assess the alignment, curvature, and movement of the spine, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions such as scoliosis, kyphosis, and other spinal abnormalities.
