How does an x-ray work?
446846
X-rays are transmitted through a subject onto a photographic film. The x-rays are blocked by bone and other solid objects casting a shadow onto the film.

WHEN I WORKED IN A RADIOLOGY CLINIC, THEY CALLED IT A PROCESSOR.  WE HAD A WET PROCESSOR FOR THE XRAYS AND A DRY PROCESSOR FOR CT AND MRI.  HOPE THAT HELPS

Here is an online interactive table that gives the x-ray absorption properties of most elements.  If you input the x-ray energy, it will tell you the absorption coefficient and the 1/mu of the material.  1/mu is the thickness of material it takes to reduce the x-ray intensity by 37%.  The lower the 1/mu of the atom, the more impenetrable it is.

x-rays and microwaves, electricity and sound just to name a few.

No, an X-ray is supposed to tell the difference between tissue and bone due to their difference in density.

It could be a number of things. See your doctor and insist on a chest X-ray.

It can only go through very thin films. Light is very high freq. X-rays are used to find small holes in welds since they go through small places well, but not metal. The fact that they conduct electricity means the magnetic part will induce a current, which creates another wave (reflection).  I have heard there is enough light passing through plywood, you can look through with an amplifier, starlight scope, night vision.

Usually a CAT scan will detect either of those or x-ray depending on what type of cancer. Usually, blood work also is effective in detecting abnormal values pointing to the possibility of cancer.

ACTUALLY it is alot of fun!!!!\n\n\nask any BORED xray tech what object they have xrayed recently\nmine was a mini pumpkin- then i went as far as doing a cat scan on it too.  \n\nResearch the net MANY PHOTOGRAPHY/RADIOLOGY hobbiest have great fun with the attempts, many books published- I have one of Fish all sorts xrayed and look very kewl- \n\nAS FOR HOW to - DONT get an EBAY item- to purchase one you must show proof and knowledge and use etc etc and much paper work- and if fraud paper work is filed-\nFDA is after you!!!\nradiation is a Hazard and is controlled and limited ...\n\n\nhow to get in and expose items/safe manner-\n\nseek a University or teaching program and see if you can get in- student liability is easier then a professional liability coverage for radiation exposure -

its a picture of an organ or bones.  We call it also x-ray cause it use X-ray. on that source you have a couple of picture.

A doctor should use an X-ray to look for a broken bone, because that is where you will get a clearer look of the bones and there will be no tissue and blood in the way, like in an ultrasound. \nChecking the size of a heart or liver should be done with an ultrasound because it will do the opposite of an X-ray and that is look mainly at soft-tissued organs. You might also need an ultrasound to look at an unborn baby, see if it is developing right, if it's a boy or a girl, if it's in a good position, or if something is wrong. I believe it's required nowadays for you to get an ultrasound just to make sure the baby is okay and is developing properly.\nNow, when checking for cavities in teeth, you get an X-ray (haven't you ever been to the dentist??) because that is the only instrument that will properly give a good view of the teeth.\nPeople also get ultrasounds when they have little built up stones in the kidneys and gullbladders. The sound waves then penetrate and break up the stones into smaller peices so they can be removed naturally.

By all means, see a doctor and get it x-rayed.

Guess work usually is 50% accurate. It is best to get it X Ray and see the true results.

consult doctor and have an x-ray

This is very complicated.\nMutual Induction means that the current in one circuit is getting into another circuit (and also the reverse), probably through transformers. And possibly from one wire to another nearby wire.\nThis can be a big problem in an Xray machine, if a power wire causes interference with a low voltage signal wire.  \nIf this is your problem, MOVE the WIRES APART more.

Radiology is considered SCIENCE...\n\n1 : the science of radioactive substances and high-energy radiations \n2 : a branch of medicine concerned with the use of radiant energy (as X rays or ultrasound) in the diagnosis and treatment of disease

Ultrasound makes an image using sound waves instead of x-rays. It is very good for looking at organs such as the heart, veins, arteries, gall bladder, liver, spleen, kidneys and bladder
