X-rays are electromagnetic rays that pass through the patient allowing the radiographer to see inside the patient due to the different types of attenuation of the body. These x-rays can cause harm to a person if used improperly or overexposed. The way they do that is through ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is when the x-ray particle goes into the body and they carry enough energy to remove an electron from

In 1899‚ Ernest Rutherford discovered that the radiation emitted by uranium consisted of two kinds of rays: one with weak penetrating power‚ (alpha rays) and another with stronger penetrating power (beta rays). A third and even more penetrating kind of ionizing radiation (gamma ray) was discovered by the French physicist Paul Villard. Alpha rays have the least penetrating ability. They cannot permeate the

One of the biggest goals in radiology is to keep the patient safe. There are many different ways to insure that the patient is safe when it comes to taking the perfect X-ray. One of the biggest and first things that the radiographers should do is confirm that they have the right patient. After confirming the patients name and date of birth the radiographer would also confirm the body part that is injured. Depending on the body part size and mass the radiographer would than determine how to set
