Why do they cover the rest of your body when getting an x ray?
They cover the rest of you body so the harmful waves don't go in your body everywhere there doesn't need to be. X-rays are harmful to your body and that's why they hid behind the wall.
How many brothers and sisters Wilhelm roentgen had?
Wilhelm Röntgen had one brother named Joseph Röntgen and one sister named Anna Röntgen. His family was relatively small, as he was the only child to survive into adulthood among his siblings. Röntgen's upbringing in a supportive family environment contributed to his later achievements in physics.
Can x-rays cause miscarriages?
No you would have abeter chance of winning lotto However pegnant women are advised not to have Xrays just in case any harm comes to the foetus as a result.
Was it possible for president Roosevelt to have rays taken on his disabled legs?
yes roentgen discovered xrays about 35 years prior making it possible
yet it wouldn't fix his legs
What type of X-ray do dentist take when a patient comes with pain in the wisdom tooth?
The dentist will take a panoramic x-ray which shows your wisdom teeth, abscess, nerves and your jaw bone. They choose not to take a periapical x-ray because it is difficult to get the tooth in this x-ray due to its location.
X-ray of foal in a mares stomach?
Radiology is defined as the practice of obtaining radiographs and practice is what is required of a good radiology technician. It is an imaging foundation in equine practice and the power of today’s portable radiology generators makes it relatively inexpensive with the potential for high return. Imaging foals requires patience, planning, and a little ingenuity.
Portable generators are becoming more powerful (higher kVp) and this allows the technician to radiograph with more ease than the large overhead units. The portability makes the generator practical to use both in-house and in an

What hours of the day are the rays of the sun the deadliest?
The Sun's rays are capable of causing sunburn, and constant long-term exposure can lead to an increase in skin cancers. That said, sunlight is only "deadly" to vampires.
From about 11 AM to 3 PM (daylight savings time) is when sunlight is most direct, and when the atmosphere provides less protection. During morning and evening hours, the Sun's rays are filtered somewhat by atmospheric scattering and attenuation.
Why do you not have groundbased gamma ray and x-ray telescopes?
Because radiation at those wavelengths is absorbed in the atmosphere, and very little of it
ever reaches the ground. Operated on the ground, those telescopes would see almost nothing.
What is the meaning of ill-defined right middle lobe opacity on a chest xray?
chest x-ray shows a questionable right basilar opacity
Can I be an x-ray tech with associate's degree?
Yes you can. Many community colleges offer an associates degree in radiography. Read the following carefully and follow through with the link provided.
You can obtain this information by going to www.collegeboard.com/splash/ and using the sites College MatchMaker search engine, or you can also click on the related links below which will take you directly to the site. You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of part or all of them etc. The site will provide you with a list of institutions based on your request. It will give you the schools background, accreditation, degree offerings, programs of study, entrance requirements, tuition and fees, room and board, athletic programs etc. and a link to each institutions official web page. Make sure the college or university has a regional accreditation (most important). Practice navigating this site. It will be well worth the time and effort.
Which material is the most resistant to the penetration of an x-ray?
Really, any material can deflect x-rays. It all depends on the density of the object in question. Lead used to be used when doctors did x-rays, but the sheets of lead were very heavy. If the lead is thick enough, it will actually absorb the x-ray. So, as a short answer, any material is resistant. It all depends on the density of the object and how much of it you have.
Which was invented first the X-ray machine or the printing machine?
The printing press was invented in around 593 AD in China, long before the X-ray machine (approx 1896).
It should be noted that printing is even older than the invention of the mechanical printing press, for example evidence for woodblock printing dates from 200 AD in China.

A mutagen is an agent that changes the genetic material (usually DNA) of a cell which leads to a change in the frequency of mutation in a cell.
A cell exposed to X-ray radiation of sufficient energy is subjected to ionising radiation. Ionising radiation is capable of displacing orbital electrons from their parent atoms. Thus atoms exposed to X-rays of sufficient energy become ionised.
DNA is a molecular structure. Molecules are the electrically neutral grouping of at least two atoms by a covalent chemical bond.
So exposing a cell to X-ray radiation (with sufficient energy) will change the charge of the atoms of the molecules of the cell.
Attacking DNA molecules in this fashion produces free radicals within the DNA molecule. Free radicals are a type of oxidising agent which is a type of mutagen that changes the DNA sequence.
