X-Ray

Because Bones are more DENSE than Soft tissues/Flesh&they BLOCK X-Rays,while Soft tissues block minimal X-Rays-So,Bony Structures are seen as shadows on Plain Films,while Soft tissues are Unclear.

To some extent, simply because the magnet is metal. X-rayons only pass through substances which have a relatively low density, like flesh. Bone, however, is too dense, so they reflect off of/are absorbed by them. Metal well tend to do the same thing, as long as it is thick enough.

Roentgen was a scientist who investigated radiation.

-----------------------------------

He discovered x-rays. Took the first x-ray of his wife's hand, when she saw it she was upset and remarked something about seeing her death.

X-Rays allow the surgeon and doctor to determine the type of fracture and the best way to treat it. For example in the case of a Tibial Plateau Fracture it is very important to allign the bone fragments to for the health of the knee joint. Improperly aligned fragment may cause additional damage to the joint and may result in sustained pain for the patient.

When the Xray machine was invented in 1895 the inventor did not know why it worked so he called it the Xray because in Math X represents the unknown.

X-rays have no electrical charge. They are electromagnetic radiation, as are light, radio waves, etc.

When interacting with matter, x-rays may cause the release of electrons from an atom or molecule, producing an ion pair. One element of an ion pair (the electron) will always have a single negative charge, while the other element (all the rest of the atom or molecule) will have a single positive charge.

X-rays are made with electromagnetic radiation that uses high energy to look through objects. Organs and tissues are soft and the x ray sees right through it, but it cant see through bones and teeth so it makes a picture of those.

No. Burns can result from radiotherapy units, which usually use X-rays, but not a "chest X-ray." The dose is just too small.

The only risk associated with chest x ray is minimal exposure to radiation, particularly for pregnant women and children. Those patients should use protective lead aprons during the procedure.

Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation and have very high penetration power. Gamma rays are similar to UV rays and x-rays in the sense that all of them are forms of electromagnetic radiations.

Unmanded mission:)

back there is the thoracic, or dorsal spine
and there is the lumbar lower back

If it is the lumbar lower back this is the estimate every place does not price the same

and the thoracic or dorsal spine, the upper back is cheaper


there are two payments when you get an xray
1-exam itself xrays
2-radiologist reading of the xrays

exam can be from 200-300
radiologist reading is about 200

to be safe I would estimate it at 500

When Stanley agrees to help X-Ray, he gains social acceptance and a sense of camaraderie among the other boys at Camp Green Lake. By supporting X-Ray, Stanley earns a favor that enhances his standing within the group, allowing him to feel more included and valued. This alliance also leads to practical benefits, such as being rewarded with an extra day off from digging. Overall, Stanley's decision fosters a sense of belonging and boosts his confidence in the harsh camp environment.

For standard X-ray examinations there is little nursing preparation required. Many such X-rays are performed on outpatients who care for themselves. However, some points may need to be considered:

-Nurses may need to reduce anxiety in some patients, particularly in those who are very young or confused. Some may be anxious about the exposure to radiation, and need to be given as much information as possible about the test, and to be reassured that the benefits of having the test far out way the very small risk involved.

-Some physical preparation is sometimes required, especially for more extensive investigations involving contrast media.

-Simple, loose clothing is important to gain access to that part of the body under examination. This may mean a loose fitting gown for hospital patients. The patient may need a dressing gown and footwear for privacy and warmth while away from bed.

-If the investigation involves contrast medium, check to see if the patient has any allergies, particularly to iodine or seafood (which may indicate an iodine allergy). Report any allergies the patient has to the radiography staff.

-Some specialised X-ray investigations may require nothing by mouth for a few hours before the test, or a particular bowel preparation. Often, the radiography department will issue specific instructions when the appointment is made. Nurses should ensure these instructions are carried out for all hospital patients.

-Check that the patient has emptied the bladder before the test commences.

-Check to see if a female patient is, or could be pregnant. Exposure of the unborn fetus to X-rays can be damaging to the child.

-After the test, the patient should be returned to their normal activities if these have been disturbed, i.e. eating and drinking, as quickly as possible.

-Whilst most contrast medium allergies are instantaneous, nurses should be aware of possible longer-term reactions over the next few hours or days, and observe patients accordingly.

The X-ray diffraction image 'photograph 51' is where this question is leading -- this photograph, produced by rosalind Franklin and presented to Watson and crick by maurice wilkins in 1953 confirmed the double-helix structure of the DNA.

As an electromagnetic radiation, x-rays require no medium to propagate. Their energies allow them to permeate most solids.

bremssstrahlung effect-In x ray radiation the bombarding electron or photon penetrate the k-shell and approach to the nucleus and gets deflected. it approaches fast but leaves less quickly losing some or all of its energy.here the electrons are deflected and after deflection electrons follow a new lower energy band

Over-exposure can damage the cells at molecular level, risking cancer. This is why the dose is very carefully controlled to a safe level and duration, and the radiographers themselves operate the machine from a safe area.

In the spin-off of this book, Small Steps, it says that X-Ray's real name is Rex Alvin Washburn.

X-rays don't show ligaments or muscles but some views will indicate the evidence that there may be torn ligaments eg. if the bones are widely separated or out of alignment.

The higher the voltage used to produce the x-rays the shorter the wavelength and therefore the higher the penetrating power. Wood is not a very dense material and does not contain elements of high density and is very easily penetrated by all but the softest x-rays. X-rays used in radiology penetrate wood to the point that it is practically radiotransparent.
