xray------------------------------------------------- X-ray X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers‚ corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (3×1016 Hz to 3×1019 Hz) and energies in the range 100 eV to 100 keV. The wavelengths are shorter than those of UV rays and longer than those of gamma rays. In many languages‚ X-radiation is called Röntgen radiation‚ after Wilhelm

X-ray> When and Were was this technology developed: -The first Xray device was discovered accidentally by the German scientist Wilhelm Roentgen in 1985.> What does this technology do? X-rays can penetrate or pass through the human body‚ and produce a shadow threw the skin to show Bone‚some organs and signs of diseases/Injury. >How does this technology work? An xray machine produces a very high concentrated beam of electrons onto a metal film ‚ then it takes a picture of bone structure.>What is this

The X-Ray imaging system has one function‚ and that is to provide a constant flow of electrons that are strong enough to produce and x-ray beam to create an image. There are many different sizes and types of imaging systems but no matter what system you use‚ every type will have three main sections. Those sections are the control console‚ the high voltage generator and the x-ray tube. The x-ray tube is located in the exam room‚ the control console is located in an adjoining room that is separated

X-Ray Diffraction X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is a rapid analytical technique primarily used for phase identification of a crystalline material and can provide information on unit cell dimensions. The analyzed material is finely ground‚ homogenized‚ and average bulk composition is determined. Fundamental Principles of X-ray Diffraction Max von Laue‚ in 1912‚ discovered that crystalline substances act as three-dimensional diffraction gratings for X-ray wavelengths similar to the spacing of

On the surface‚ the image of Hans appreciating the picture of his beloved as she rides away doesn’t sound out of the ordinary. However‚ when taking a look at the image this “portrait” provides‚ it’s a little less than conventional. An X-ray is essentially a picture of a person’s skeleton‚ and skeletal figures are a big aspect of the Mexican Day of the Dead holiday. During this day‚ family and friends get together to pray for and remember their passed loved ones‚ and provide food and drinks to help

First off let me tell you writing is not my strong suit! I’m applying for a Kaiser Permanente Scholarship for my Radiologic Technology Program. I was not given anything as far as specifications and my prompt is "a written essay describing personal goals‚ achievements and accomplishments". Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance. Here is what I’ve come up with: Vince Lombardi once said‚ "The price of success is hard work‚ dedication to the job at hand‚ and the determination

radiograph (XRAY) was taken. The XRAY film is then developed so it can be read by the radiologist; film development requires a technician in a special room with specific equipment and chemicals. The developed film is then physically delivered to‚ and read by‚ a radiologist. Reading the XRAY film generally means the radiologist is on-site (within the hospital‚ clinic or office). If a radiologist is not on-site‚ i.e. after hours or weekends‚ he/she is called in to do the reading. Once the XRAY is read
