X-Ray

There would be no reason to "clear the lungs" for a chest x-ray since the purpose of the chest x-ray is to evaluate the condition of the lungs. If something shows up on the chest x-ray that needs to be treated, it isn't something that you could do yourself beforehand. Depending on what is in the lungs, antibiotics, steroids, dialysis, breathing treatments, and endotracheal tube placement can improve the condition the lungs appear to be in when an x-ray is taken.

characteristick x-ray are those which is emmited by the electron of target atom due to transition from higher energy state to lower energy state,while continuous x-ray are those which is emmited by the atoms present in a material.

Yes. If ever pregnant, avoid x-rays during the first trimester.

X-Rays are electromagnetic waves with a high frequency (lying between UV radiation and gamma radiation on the EM spectrum) and as a result, have a very small wavelength (on the atomic level). Because of this high frequency, they carry high amounts of energy, and have a high penetrating power. X-Rays are ionising, meaning they can cause cancer in humans if exposure is high enough.

The two main types are "hard" X-Rays and "soft" X-Rays. The differences are, "ard" X-Rays have a higher frequency, lower wavelength, carry more energy and have a higher penetrating power then "soft" X-Rays. In an X-Ray machine, an aluminium filter is often used to block the "soft" X-Rays, as they are more easily absorbed by the patient and are more dangerous because of this.

Yes, you should have an abscessed tooth either removed (or a root canal) done. It depends on what the dentist says. First, the dentist will put you on antibiotics to be sure the abscess is cleared up and then do the procedure. Most dentists prefer to save your teeth if at all possible so discuss the root canal as an option.

It means object to image receptor distance. It's the distance/space between the thing being x rayed and the image receptor (the plate that absorbs the x-rays and forms the image)

MRI technologist, are individuals who have usually worked in the field of Radiology for at least five to six years, most have on the job training after working in X-ray and/or CT, and can expect to earn up to $30.00 to $35.00 dollars an hour.

It is a really good idea to cover reproductive organs during X-rays, and we do. Lead blankets are always available in the X-ray suite, and the staff knows where to put them and why.

X-rays will "expose" X-ray film. That's how imaging (medical or otherwise) is accomplished using X-rays.

We know that X-rays are high energy electromagnetic rays, and they are a form of penetrating radiation. X-ray film is photographic film, and this is film which will undergo chemical changes when exposed to light. X-rays and visible (optical) light are both electromagnetic radiation, and exposing film to X-rays will "leave an image" on the film, depending on the conditions of exposure.

When using X-rays, which have a great ability to penetrate different materials, we enclose the film in a "film pack" which is positioned in such a way that it is "behind" the subject or object to be X-rayed. The source emits the X-rays, they pass through the object under scrutiny, and through the film. (The film is shielded from optical light by the packaging, but the X-rays pass right through it.) The film, which has been exposed to the X-rays, is then developed to yield images.

We might note that modern imaging is moving to a "digital" X-ray with the elimination of the film and the substitution of an X-ray sensitive "grid" or "screen" behind the subject. This makes images quickly available (there is no delay as with developing film) and allows for immediate digital storage (with no "conversion" from film to digital format).

The reason why astronomers send things in space and not set them on a mountain, is because distortion becomes minimum. anything that goes in space will capture a better signal and picture of everything.

no x-ray or gamma ray radiation can be stopped or diluted by air. if that was the truth, a greater portion of the radiation would be stopped (absorbed, destroyed ) by atmospheric air in Chernobil's incidence. Radiation from Ukraine reached to Greece, Sweden and to many other places!

A physician's office, an outpatient radiology facility or hospital radiology department. In some cases, particularly for patients who cannot get out of bed, a portable chest x ray may be taken.

Govind Singh goes to the X-ray institute to get a medical examination that is likely related to a health issue or injury. The X-ray is a diagnostic tool used to help identify any underlying problems in his body, such as fractures or other conditions. This visit is crucial for obtaining accurate information that can guide further treatment or decisions regarding his health.

Because if there is a chance you are pregnant the X-rays could harm your unborn child.

Everything fades. However, old Xray films are the same as black-and-white photographic film. They last 100 years plus and counting. There is a big business in converting Xray films to computer files and then harvesting the film for the silver.

Coherent scatter which is caused when the X-Ray reacts to an electron but it isn't strong enough to knock it out of its shell causing it to vibrate only.

A Mallory-Weiss syndrome tear is not visible on standard upper gastrointestinal x rays.

If the kVp is kept the same but the mA is increased, the x-ray will have more contrast but there will be no increase in penetration. Increasing kV by 10 is the about the same as doubling the mAs. If the patient is large, then it is better to increase the kV. If the x-ray is too grey, then it is better to increase the mAs.

Computed tomography (CT) uses a thin, fan-shaped x-ray beam that rotates around the patient to produce multiple cross-sectional views of the body (tom/omeans to cu, section or slice, and -graphy means the process of recording a picture or record.

Yes, although anyone who would attempt it deserves the prison cell they would soon find themselves in. Also, the metal so close to your body during an x-ray is likely to cause burns. You really want to reconsider this course of action if your are questionably considering itnow.
