Xrays
X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation used in medical imaging to produce images of the internal structures of the body. They are commonly used to diagnose and monitor a wide range of medical conditions, including:
1. Bone fractures and dislocations
2. Lung diseases, such as pneumonia and cancer
3. Dental problems, such as cavities and abscesses
4. Digestive issues, such as bowel obstructions
5. Foreign objects in the body, such as swallowed items
X-rays work by:
1. Emitting X-ray beams through the body
2. Absorbing different amounts of X-rays by various tissues (e.g., bone, soft tissue)
3. Detecting the transmitted X-rays on a digital sensor or film
4. Producing an image based on the varying X-ray absorption
Types of X-rays:
1. Chest X-ray
2. Spine X-ray
3. Extremity X-ray (e.g., arm, leg)
4. Dental X-ray
5. Mammography (breast X-ray)
Inform your doctor or technician, as they may take precautions or recommend alternative imaging tests.
No, X-rays have limitations and may not detect certain conditions, such as early-stage tumors or soft tissue injuries.
Generally, yes. X-rays use low levels of radiation, and the benefits outweigh the risks.
Typically, a few minutes to an hour, depending on the type and number of X-rays.
