Do gamma rays or x-rays have lower energy?

X-rays have lower energy, though they are both dangerous.

What is an ill defined opacity of the lung?

On high-resolution CT of the lung, ground-glass opacity may represent a spectrum of diseases ranging from isolated interstitial abnormalities to isolated alveolar filling, and frequently represents entities involving both parenchymal compartments [1, 2, 3]. Ground-glass opacity has been described as a potential finding in virtually all neoplastic, infectious, and inflammatory conditions involving the pulmonary parenchyma. Not surprisingly, the specificity of this finding in a given case is limited, and even when it is correlated with the clinical setting, a wide differential diagnosis may be applicable. In many instances, ground-glass opacity is a secondary finding in which associated abnormalities including nodules or masses, interstitial changes, and consolidation contribute to a given diagnosis. Well-known examples include the halo sign of invasive aspergillosis and crazy paving in alveolar proteinosis [4, 5]. Furthermore, anatomic distribution of the ground-glass opacity at a lobular level can be used to suggest a diagnosis [6]. Centrilobular distributions are readily recognized in hypersensitivity pneumonitis and panlobular distributions in Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia [7, 8]. ( maybe you got an HIV )

What happens when an abnormal growth is identified on barium enema x-ray?

If an abnormal growth is seen on a barium enema, the patient is usually sent to a specialist who will investigate the options of removing the growth. Sometimes further investigations such as a colonoscopy (a tube with a camera is inserted rectally to visualize the area) or/and a biopsy will need to be done to determine the nature of the growth.

When did luffy get the X scar on his chest?

Luffy's scar is cause by Akainu during the war in Marine HQ against Whitebeard. Read Manga Chapter 578 page 10-11 where Jimbei is holding Luffy when they got attacked by Akainu in mid-air, his attack went through Jinbei and hit Luffy in the chest. ChaCha! .By the way the ocean arc was a filler so it doesnt really count as the real reason unless you dont really follow the proper story and follow the anime filler arcs instead.

What is costophrenic angles in a chest x-ray mean?

Costophrenic angles are the corners formed where the diaphragm meets the rib cage in a chest X-ray. They are important anatomical landmarks used to assess for fluid accumulation, such as pleural effusion, which can cause blunting of these angles. A normal costophrenic angle is sharp and well-defined, while blunting or obscuration may indicate pathology. Evaluating these angles helps in diagnosing various respiratory and cardiac conditions.

What is plain xray?

It will depend on who says it, but often "plain x-ray" or "plain film" images are used to describe procedures using xray excluding things like CT or Fluoroscopy. If a single images is taken it will usually be considered "plain".

What is a baby x-ray tetra?

A baby x-ray tetra, scientifically known as Astyanax mexicanus, is a small freshwater fish native to Mexico and parts of Central America. It is characterized by its transparent body, which allows visibility of its internal organs, resembling an x-ray effect. This unique trait makes it a popular species for aquarium enthusiasts and educational purposes. Baby x-ray tetras typically grow to about 1.5 inches in length and thrive in schools, making them social and interactive pets.

What is always true about images captured with X ray telescopes?

They are always shown with colors that are not the true colors of the objects that were photographed


Good luck

When are more than four x-rays taken during a mammogram?

A total of four x rays, two of each breast, are taken for a screening mammogram.

Is there a frog lateral view x-ray?

What are the benefis of x-ray container scanner for customs purposes?

they are the same as air port scanners but way more powerful to see Thu steel that con. are made of they can also have radiation detectors on them to check for dirty or nuke bombs

Why can you see a ring on an x ray and not fingernails?

Metal is denser, and not as easily penetrated by x-rays as fingernails are.

Which travels faster x-rays or microwaves?

They both travel the same speed, the speed of light about 300,000 km per second or 186,000 miles per second.

How are x-rays produced?

X-ray production whenever electrons of high energy strike a heavy metal target, like tungsten or copper. When electrons hit this material, some of the electrons will approach the nucleus of the metal atoms where they are deflected because of there opposite charges. This deflection causes the energy of the electron to decrease, and this decrease in energy then results in forming an x-ray.

How do X-Rays help your body?

It helps them locate fractured bones or what happened to the bodies that we cannot see externally. The reason doctors step outside whenever they do an xray on you is because its really unhealthy for them to have repeated exposures to the radiation. Patients typically do not have a lot of exposure and so with proper screening it is safe.

Is a bone fractured if the x ray shows a black area in the region of the epiphyseal plate?

If an x-ray shows a black area in the region of the epiphyseal plate, it means that the epiphyseal plate has not completely ossified. The bone is not fractured.

What is X-ray crystallography?

X-ray Crystallography is a method of determining the arrangement of atoms within a crystal, in which a beam of X-ray strikes a crystal and diffracts into many specific directions.

Procedure:

  1. The crystal is brought into the vicinity of the X-rays introduced by an X-ray source.
  2. The diffraction from the crystal is made possible.
  3. The diffracted beam is observed upon the collecting photographic film.

Methods for X-ray Crystallography:

  • Lauve Method
  • Rotating crystal method
  • Powder Method

How are gamma rays formed?

gamma rays are formed when alot of energy is released in space. Powerful enough to possibly destroy all life on earth.
