What is peri-screw lucency on x-ray image?
"Lucency" is a technical term for an area that lets x-rays through tissue and appears darker on the picture. "Peri-screw lucency" is a result of having had a peri-screw inserted into the bone, possibly due to an accident.
Why cannot wear any jewelry during x-ray carried out?
Jewelry can cause "artifacts" on film, that may make it difficult to see the rest of the film. There can be bright streaks on film due to xray beams being reflected off the metal.

It could be lymphatic as well since there are several lymph nodes in the buttocks region that are very deep. It could be a nerve distribution issue in your body depending on size and post injury state.
What is a method of viewing an X-ray image in real time?
Fluoroscopy is a way to get real time x-rays. It is often used in surgery.
Will smoking 4-5 hours before an X-ray present a substantially different view than a normal X-ray?
No, smoking before an x-ray will not make the x-ray look any different. Chronic long term problems caused by smoking such as emphysema will show up on an chest x-ray.

(excerpted from Howstuffworks.com) X-rays are a form of ionizing radiation. When normal light hits an atom, it can't change the atom in any significant way. But when an X-ray hits an atom, it can knock electrons off the atom to create an ion, an electrically-charged atom. Free electrons then collide with other atoms to create more ions. An ion's electrical charge can lead to unnatural chemical reactions inside cells. Among other things, the charge can break DNA chains. A cell with a broken strand of DNA will either die or the DNA will develop a mutation. If a lot of cells die, the body can develop various diseases. If the DNA mutates, a cell may become cancerous, and this cancer may spread. If the mutation is in a sperm or an egg cell, it may lead to birth defects. Because of all these risks, doctors use X-rays sparingly today. They are helpful in that x-radiation helps diagnose and treat illnesses in humans, pets and other animals. It is also an important part of scientific research, agriculture and countless industrial uses, such as the inspection of welds in construction, car manufacturing and aircraft maintenance.

Are there study guides available before you take the x ray tech certification test?
Yes, what you are referring to is the CAMRT exam, and their is a variety of study guides online, and in a physical book. Many websites and retailers carry study guides.
No... x-rays pictures are taken in a similar way as you would use an 35mm camera to take an ordinary photograph. The film used in hospitals is sensitive only to x-rays instead of 'ordinary' light. They can be viewed simply by shining a light through them. However - using a computer to store the pictures, simply allows doctors to share the images instantly with colleagues who may be hundreds or thousands of miles away.
An x-ray machine works the following way: 1) An emitter that emits an x-ray burst. 2) X-rays pass through less dense objects (skin, muscle) and is blocked by more dense objects ( bone, tumors). 3) The x-rays that passed through the body hit an x-ray film. 4) X-rays darken the film were it is struck, and areas that were unable to pass through appear bright( bones, etc).

What do doctors look for in x-rays of long bones to determine if a teenager is done growing?
