How do x rays help diagnose pain?
These studies can detect abnormalities in the structure of bones or joints, and differentiate between healthy and diseased tissues.
What do you call someone who analyses x-ray for diagnosis?
A radiologist is a specialist in the study of radiography.
Which parts of body can be imaged by the X-rays and which one can not?
Your face, the only exception is your dad.
In chest X-ray how much percent radiation is used?
I don't really understand the question, but here goes. Only 1% of the energy used is given off as xrays. The rest is given off as heat. That 1% then travels through the body to the xray film plate or IR plate. The amount of radiation the patient receives is less than if he were to walk out to his car in the parking lot on a sunny day. It is not that much.
What is off focus radiation in operation of x-ray tube?
Off- focus also known as "extrafocal" radiation is produced by electrons impacting the anode outside the focal spot. This occurs when electrons striking the focal spot bounce off and are attracted back to the anode outside the focal spot region.
Do xray machines see through credit cards?
They will show the embedded microchip - and also wipe the card clean ! X-rays are simply high-powered radio waves.
Common causes repeat x-ray examination?
Some of the essential anatomy may have been cut off, or the positioning could have been better, like if the structure was over or under rotated. There could have been motion due to the patient moving. There could have been artifacts in the way that would need to be removed such as jewelry or metal snaps on a gown. There could have been a problem when developing the film. Or maybe the exposure factors need to be adjusted depending on the patient's size and condition in order to get a good quality image. There could have been many other reasons, we try to avoided repeats as much as possible, but it happens.
What is the effect of lethal dose exposure of X-ray to the body?
Lethal dose means you die from it.
hair falls out, gums start to bleed. internal organ failure.
extreme cases, damage similar to heat burns.
Are there cavities an X-ray can not see?
Absolutely! X-rays are simply a tool the dentist uses to diagnose dental disease. He also uses an instrument called an explorer to help him find decay that would otherwise be hidden.
X-rays cannot see through metal. Therefore, if decay is present around an old crown or filling, it probably will be hidden on the x-ray. X-rays are also often useless in detecting decay on the surface of the tooth directly facing the x-ray.
If you doubt your dentist, please get a second opinion. Its your right, and its your mouth!
Why X-ray can not pass through the glass but can pass through the diamond or body?
X-ray actually does pass through plain glass, and quite easily in most cases. It is often very difficult to find a small piece of glass embedded in the human body because the density of most types of glass is not high enough to stop or absorb enough of the x-ray to make it show up against the normal body tissues. Perhaps you are thinking about the special glass window that a technologist or radiologist stands behind when watching you during your x-ray. That isn't regular glass, but a special lead-glass designed in specific lead equivalencies and standard thickness to stop radiation from penetrating under various radiation conditions. The lead-equivalency of radiation safety glass is based on exposures at 150 kV.
Some types of lead glass and glassware are used for their decorative properies and do have a fairly high density. They can in some cases absorb a great deal of radiation and show up quite well on a routine x-ray. These aren't the standard type of glass. Now days these types of decorative glass "lead crystal"are not made from real lead due to safety concerns, but blends of barium sulfate, etc.
X-ray required in Florida law for dental cleaning?
I don't know if it is law, but it is prudent.
A dental cleaning is treatment, and it is unwise for a dentist to treat a patient, even for a simple cleaning without first performing a thorough examination, including appropriate x-rays.
Dental x-rays allow a dentist to detect dental cavities and other pathologies that otherwise would go unseen. X-rays are quite safe, and the potential benefits far outweigh the risks.
If a patient were to develop a serious condition and lose a tooth, the patient might have a justified reason for suing the dentist who failed to perform a proper exam before treatment began.
In any case, it is in the best interests of the patient to follow the recommendations of their dentist and submit to the examination, including x-rays.
How does an image from a CT scanner differ from a regular X-ray scanner?
The CT scan uses many X-ray images in thin slices to make a 3D image.
When did Pastor Angie Ray die?
Oct or Dec of 2005. I watched her homegoing on tv just can remember which of those months. I know it was either October or December I'm leaning toward Dec.
