X-Ray

The production of x rays is a reverse process of photoelectric effect. X rays are produced when target metal is bombarded by electrons while in photoelectric effect, the electron are produced when light waves are incident on a metal surface.

This is an interesting question, I have received my own mammogram films, and some others, while other hospitals say they are ''their'' property. Perhaps it is a facility/doctor policy? I agree with you. If we as patients pay for them, they should be our property.

When the film is taken front to back, with the back being against the film, it is anteroposterior (AP).

Routine chest x rays consist of two views, the frontal view and the lateral (side) view. The patient stands and is asked to hold their breath for a few seconds.

So that your DNA does what it needs to do for your body.

The reproductive organs can be more sensitive to x-rays than muscle tissue and have more important negative effects. The x-rays could cause damage to some future follicles or egg cells which might cause some genetic effects on any children conceived shortly after being exposed. You should always make sure to be shielded with some lead as much as possible for the exam being done whenever getting any type of x-ray.

Yes, you can have X-rays taken when you are menstruating. It is possible for X-rays to show tampons and menstrual cups in the body, but an x-ray technician is aware that some people menstruate.

The long answer has to do with the amount of potentially damaging radiation a fetus receives and varies widely depending on how many weeks pregnant one is and what type of x-ray you are getting (e.g. chest plain x-ray, abdominal CT scan, etc). The shorter answer is that for essentially all conventional medical radiologic diagnostic tests (including CT, MRI, plain xrays, ultrasound, and most common nuclear medicine diagnostic exams), the risk to a fetus is considered very, very, minimal and any tiny risk to the fetus is far outweighed by the medical benefit you likely receive from a medically necessary "x-ray." Remember, if the xray helps you get healthier, your fetus will be healthier.

As with lots of things the X-ray effect was discovered and a use was thought up later. But the implications were immediately apparent. Just as a "first case" here, the idea that an injury including broken bones could be "seen" without any invasive procedures was something a school kid could visualize. Certainly the early investigators saw this clearly, as they did a number of other applications.

Electon microscopes can cost up to $200,000, but the older models can be as low as $50,000.

An X-ray is a type of medical scan. Several types of scanning tests can be used to make a diagnosis, depending on the situation. An X-ray is primarily used to determine if there is damage to bones such as a fracture or dislocated joint, locate a foreign object (i.e., bullet, a swallowed toy, etc), diagnose certain diseases (example-pneumonia) or to get a general idea of where to focus a more detailed scan of soft tissues. It is performed by placing the patient between a specialized type of film and a radiation source, which can be targeted at any given point of the body. It creates a picture that is then viewed by an X-ray technician, nurse, physician assistant or physician in order to help make his/her diagnosis. There are also CAT scans, MRI's, ultrasounds, and PET scans, all of which use different technology to be able to view inside the body in varying levels of detail.

X-ray tech's AKA Radiologic technologists earned $52,336 on average in 2007. More experienced radiologic tech salaries ranged between $50,000 to $80,000, according to the American Medical Association. Radiologic tech salary is dependent on several factors. For example, the type of facility you work in and the geographic location of your workplace can have an impact on your salary level.

when the cathode filament emits the electron and because of the high vaccum inside the tube with a high voltage who is applied on anode (the destination) the electron will accelerate to the anode and the anode will emits the x-ray photon directly after strike of the mentioned electron.

the power of x-ray or peneration is determined of the anode high voltage.

When the x-rays enters the body,it recogonises the shape of the structures.It is then obtained on the computer.If there is a mistake in the correct shape,the doctors finds the bone breakage.

Lead. Lead is a heavy metal that protects against x-ray and some forms of radiation.

The main purpose of a chest x-ray before having surgery is to ensure your lungs are healthy enough to be intubated. You will have a breathing tube placed down your throat while you are having surgery and if your lungs are not healthy then you might not be able to have the surgery.

Most Doctors do not take Xrays- they are ordered by the Doctor, taken by a Radiology Technician, and read by a Doctor- frequently by a Radiologist.

X-rays have a higher frequency; therefore, a shorter wavelength, than radio waves. Xrays have a higher energy than radio waves.

Radio waves travel easily through the atmosphere. X-rays suffer significant attenuation passing through the atmosphere.

Radio waves are non-ionizing, not carrying enough energy per quantum to ionize atoms or molecules-that is, to completely remove an electron from an atom or molecule. The electromagnetic radiation of radio waves has sufficient energy only for excitation, the movement of an electron to a higher energy state.

X-rays are ionizing, producing charged ions when passing through matter. X-rays will deposit images on photographic plates (radio waves will not).
