What indication of bursitis may show up in an X-ray?
Bursitis will not show up on x-rays, although sometimes there are also calcium deposits in the joint that can be seen.
Why do you need to wear vest to take an x ray but not at the checking point at air port?
The X ray for medical investigations requires a higher frequency and longer duration of exposure to penetrate the internal organs of the body and the lead vest is used as a protective barrier .In air port security check the X ray is to scan momentarily any metal object on the surface and requires a low intensity x ray charge and is quite harmless.
Are x rays the greatest source of electromagnetic radiation energy?
Greatest ???
No - for us the greatest source is the sun, which is mostly visible light.
X-rays do have more energy than visible light, but not as much as gamma rays.
Why are x-rays no longer taken?
But they are - assuming the equipment is available, and a doctor think they are needed.
What Types of termination of exposure to X-ray?
Automatic exposure time
electronic exposure time
mechanical exposure time
A pupil puts a red filter in the ray of white light what happens to the spectrum?
the whole spectrum turns red.
A bike is compound machine. Screws are used to hold the pieces together. The wheel of a bicycle is a wheel and axle. The pedals are also examples of this simple machine. The pedals are attached to a lever that turns a pulley. The gear shifts and brake handles are levers.
A wheelbarrow is an example of a compound machine that uses a lever and a wheel and axle.
An example of a compound machine is the common garden hoe. The handle of the hoe is a lever, while the blade that cuts into the ground is a wedge.
What weight per volume of barium sulphate do you need for x-ray contrast?
It depends entirely on the barium procedure you are attempting. A single contrast barium swallow for example needs around 60-155% w/v. If you need visualization of the stomach, the numbers will be different. The smallest amount of Barium will show up on X-ray, however, due to its high atomic number. This is evidenced by the dramatic chest x-rays of people who have had barium aspiration.
When can ossification first be seen on an X-ray?
It really depend on the quality and standard of the X-ray but typically it is visibly from 2-3 Weeks.

What is x-ray tube single load rating?
SINGLE LOAD RATING
highest permitted X-RAY TUBE LOAD given by a relationship between constant ANODE INPUT
POWER and LOADING TIME for one LOADING under SPECIFIED conditions. See detail in IEC 60613
Can airport X-rays damage cassette tapes?
Ill answer that with another question. You still use cassette tapes?
Yes, the morning sun is safe to be in until around 10am. From 10am-4pm is the most dangerous time for burns and possible skin cancer. After 4pm the sun is safer. Use sunblock of at least SPF 15 when out in the sun during 10am-4pm and wear protective clothing.
For bone age determination explain why an x-ray of the hand and wrist are taken?
x-ray of hand or wrist is taken to determine the age of bone because different bones are developed at diff. age or they can fuse with each other at diff. age.........by lookin to the x-ray of a preson his age can be know
Not very well. If the lead is a thin sheet and the x-ray source is strong, the x-rays go right through. X-ray shields are made of lead and are designed to be thick enough.
Can X-rays of the chest cause a rash to the area?
A simple chest x-ray would not cause a rash. It would take a radiation dose much, much higher to cause something like that. It would be best to consult your physician though as it could be another symptom to the illness that required an x-ray in the first place.
Why is it important to have oil inside of tube housing in X-ray production?
Oil is used as the x-ray tubes cooling system.
Why does x rays light get farther into your bodies than ultraviolet?
Xrays have smaller wavelengths, and can only been seen from the shadows it makes on xray paper.
X-rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet, thus making them smaller photons, hard x-radiation has a wavelength around .01 nanometers and ultraviolet has a wavelength around 10 nanometers at the shortest wavelength. This means it is easier for the smaller x-rays to penetrate the human body than ultraviolet wavelengths. 1000 nanometers = 1 micron, 1000000 microns = 1 millimeter
Why X-ray and gamma rays overlap over a certain range?
We have named them a gamma ray and Xray because they get produced by two different methods. So it is not all overlapping. This particular method produces em radiations with some frequency range. Same time someother method could also produce some frequency fallen in the other range. So it is natural.
Why are x rays used to diagnose cervical spondylosis?
X rays reveal the presence of osteophytes, stenosis, constricted space between the vertebrae, and misalignment in the cervical spine
