Why is it good that x-ray waves can't easily pass through Earth's atmosphere?
Because the sun and stars are emitting them constantly and we would be irradiated - i.e. life would not exist (at least not above ground - and/or as we know it)
Them there's some fancy words. Reckon you heard 'em from a doctor. Reckon y'all oughta ask that there doctor 'bout it.
Or, in other words: If you have a medical condition, SEE A PHYSICIAN. DO NOT RELY ON WHAT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WITH TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS AND AN INTERNET CONNECTION THINK.
Why are X-rays black and white?
The x-ray image is formed when the x-rays travel through the patient onto the cassette. The x-ray cassette is made with a gelatin, bariums, and crystals the light up when interacted with x-rays. Depending on how much of the x-ray is absorbed by your body, the cassette will light up in different brightnesses, causing certain parts of the film to become slightly exposed. A fully exposed x-ray film will appear black will appear black when processed, while one the hasn't been exposed in any light will show be very light, and only show the color of the film, which has a slight tint, and a properly used x-ray film will show black, white, and different shades of gray depending on the thickness of bones, and tissue mass.
What is the meaning of x in x ray?
The "x" is not an abbreviation of another word. It's the "x" from algebra,
which refers to any unknown quantity. Wilhelm Roentgen did not know
what had passed through his hand and accidentally produced an image
of the bones in his hand on a nearby piece of film, and he referred to
whatever it was as "X strahlen" ... German for "X rays" where 'X' means
'unknown'. In Europe X-rays are known as Roentgen rays.
X-Radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of
0.01 to 10 nanometers.
What is an X ray of the renal pelvis using a dye called?
Intravenous Pyelogram or IVP is the investigation of the renal pelvis using x-ray dye. The dye is injected into the veins and then a series of images are taken showing the kidney in various stages of dye uptake. X-rays are taken until most of the dye has entered the bladder. Often an x-ray after the bladder has been emptied is taken as well.
What is the proper term for the pictures produced by x-rays?
They are technically a radio-graph image
Any hidden object which can be attenuated by the x-ray beam will be detected by the x-rays.
What are non examples of x-rays?
This is a weird question ... ANYTHING that is not an X-ray is a NON-example. So ... a mud puddle is a non-example.
Interface of an X-ray machine?
I had to look this up, but it sounded intriguing. After all, people made X-rays on machines whose "interface" was a knob for the last 100 years. It should be obvious to all that since knobs no longer work for anything, there have to be a billion buttons and a Windows interface on it, right? Turns out there are two kinds of X-ray machines on the market today--digital and analog. A digital X-ray machine is pretty nice if you've got a computerized hospital--you can take a picture of someone in a hospital in Alaska and a radiologist in Seattle, or at the Mayo Clinic, can read the X-ray from the comfort of her own office. Those machines have fancy Windows-based interfaces. Then there are analog machines, which expose film--still a very viable technology because instead of putting a CD containing a patient's X-rays in his record, and hoping the hospital's new computer will read it ten years down the road or the hospital ten miles down the road has a computer that can read the X-ray file format, you put the film in the record and read it by holding it up in front of the window. They still have knobs, or up/down pushbuttons that do the same thing.
Who is supposed to hold a child during an X-ray examination?
When it comes to holding patients, many factors are considered. If a parent isn't pregnant, they are often the best choice. It can be reassuring to the child and the risk is very minimal. Nurses, grandparents, really anyone but the x-ray tech is the best choice. The x-ray tech is the last choice due to the relatively higher amount of radiation exposure that they are exposed to.
Where can you hear the right middle lobe most efffectively on the anterior chest?
The right middle lobe is heard best in the right axilla while standing behind the patient. The anterior chest would find the right middle lobe between the sternum and the nipple.
What was the date that the x ray was discovered?
The X-ray was discovered on November 8th, 1895, by Bavarian physics professor Wilhelm Röntgen. He took the first actual X-ray picture around November 22nd of the same year; the subject was the hand of his wife, Anna Bertha.
Visible light falls on the range of the electromangetic spectrum which is the appropriate wavelength to be detected by the eye. The difference between visible light and invisible light is simply its energy (wavelength or frequency)
What is the medical term meaning X-ray of the urinary tract?
A plain X-ray is called KUB (kidney-ureter-bladder) x-ray. "Urography" is not plain x-ray.
